Patricia Ann Bennett (Stone)
March 8, 1942 – October 20, 2025

Patricia Ann Bennett, age 83, of Paragould, Arkansas, passed away peacefully at her home on October 20, 2025. Born on March 8, 1942, in Shaw, MS Pat was the daughter of the late Albert Stone and Myrtle Guthrie Stone.

A woman of grace, grit, and determination, Pat co-owned and operated Genuine Parts Company alongside her late husband, Dean William Bennett Sr. Her hands knew both hard work and elegance — just as likely to be found changing a tractor tire as she was preparing for a family gathering. Pat had recently relocated from North Dakota to Paragould to be closer to her beloved siblings.

She deeply loved her family and treasured time spent traveling, gathering with loved ones, and especially doting on her grandchildren, nieces, and nephews. Known for her strong will and vibrant personality, Patricia was never one to shy away from speaking her mind — a quality her family fondly recalls.

Pat is survived by her children, Dean William Bennett Jr. and Sandra Roth (Paul), and by her grandchildren Tonya Cole and great-grandchildren Tristen, Bailey, and Amilyn. She also leaves behind her siblings: Alton Stone (Amy), John Stone (Dee), Linda Weldon (Robert), Mavis Finley, and Gayle Stephens, as well as many cherished nieces, nephews, extended family, and friends.

She was preceded in death by her husband Dean William Bennett Sr., daughters Elizabeth Bennett and Kathryn Louise Thompson, her parents, her brother John Edward Stone, and her sisters Alice Finley and Louise Stone.

Funeral services will be held on Saturday, October 25, 2025, at 2:00 PM in the chapel of Associated Family Funeral Home in Adamsville, TN. The family will receive friends for visitation from 12:00 PM to 2:00 PM prior to the service. Burial will take place at St. Francis Xavier Catholic Cemetery in Anamoose, North Dakota, at a later date.
