Ray Owens
March 5, 1929 — June 5, 2017
Ray Lee Owens passed away peacefully at his home in Glenwood, Arkansas on Monday June 5, 2017.
Ray was born in Clarksville, Texas, March 5, 1929 to Ruby and Roy Owens. He served honorably as a US Marine during the Korean War. After completing his service, he became a master carpenter by trade working in Houston, TX and Hot Springs AR. He married Betty Lou Terry in 1962 celebrating his 54th anniversary before she preceded him in death in September 2016.
Ray was known for his active involvement in the service of others. As a member of Hot Springs First Baptist Church, he assisted at every opportunity such as being a Deacon in his congregation to driving a bus for Youth Groups. He was regarded as an honest, hard worker who waited up for his children to come home with a bible in his lap. He considered himself a history enthusiast, never gave up on winning the lottery and never passed up a chance to go out for breakfast. Ray was a 32nd degree Mason and remained a deeply loyal friend, husband and father.
Ray is survived by his three children, Rick, Corey and Stefani; seven grandchildren and two great grandchildren.
A private memorial service will be held by his family. Condolences may be sent in care of Rick Owens. PO Box 46, Glenwood, AR 71943
