Elsie Tabor Obituary
She was born on Nov. 19, 1925, to the late Jack and Minnie (Williams) Waltman in Everton, Arkansas. A lifelong resident of the area, Elsie was a 1943 graduate of Olvey High School. She married J.T. Tabor on Nov. 16, 1946, and they were married for 63 wonderful years before his death in 2009.
Through the years, Elsie enjoyed many things, country music, flowers, reading, playing piano and crossword puzzles. She was a fan of the Arkansas Razorbacks and the Cardinals, but she was the biggest fan when it came to watching her son and grandkids play basketball and other sports.
When it came to traveling Elsie always had her purse ready to go, she liked to go to Branson and watch the shows. Most people knew her from Tabor-McLean Convenience Store in Pyatt, a business she was very proud of; it was the gathering place for a lot of people. Elsie was a member of the Pyatt Church of Christ and loved spending quality time with her family.
Elsie is survived by her daughters, Beverly (Larry) Baker of Mountain Home, Arkansas and Pam (Terry) Tabor of Harrison, Arkansas; grandchildren Brad (Shelley) McLean, Holly (Kelvin) Hudson, Heather (Stacey) Thornton, Tera (John Eric) Payne, Keri King and Ryan Tabor; daughter in law Ann Tabor of Harrison, Arkansas; and many great and great-great-grandchildren.
She is preceded in death by her parents; husband J.T. Tabor; son Joel Tabor; and sisters, Glena Stonecipher, Gladys Laffoon and Ruby Powers.
A visitation will be held from noon to 2 p.m. Saturday, Aug 9, 2025, from at Roller-Burns Funeral Home in Yellville, Arkansas. Funeral services will follow at 2 p.m. with Bro. Jon Hendrix officiating. Interment will be at Crawford Cemetery, near Harrison.
