Mona Lee (Carter) English, the daughter of William Oscar Carter and Beatrice Bostic Carter, was born on January 18, 1932, in Rose Bud, Arkansas and passed away peacefully at her home in Rose Bud, Arkansas on December 24, 2025 at the age of 93 years.
Mona found her greatest joy in spending time with her family. She especially loved watching her great-grandchildren play sports, taking pride in their accomplishments and delighting in their enjoyment. She was a steady presence of love and encouragement to all who knew her.
She had a deep passion for crocheting, which was more than a hobby-it was her ministry.
Mona crocheted blankets and small crosses, giving them freely to others as expressions of care, comfort, and faith. Her work reached beyond her own community, as she also sent these handmade gifts to missionaries serving in other parts of the world.
Mona is preceded in death by her husband of fifty-eight years, Harold Deener English, parents, William Oscar Carter and Beatrice Bostic Carter, son, Clyde English, daughter-in-law, Lucille
"Lou" English, and three great-grandsons.
She is survived by her son, Calvin English, daughter-in-law, Nelda English, grandchildren, Misty Ladd (Phillip) and Jeremy English (Christy), step-grandchildren, Paul Edom (Tanya) and John Edom (Donna), great-grandchildren: Bryce Ladd (Charlie), Driftin Ladd, Calan English, and Cord English, step-great-grandchildren: Avery Edom, Blake Edom, Cylie Edom, Jonathan Edom, and Katie Edom, one great-great-grandchild due in May 2026 as well as other relatives and many friends.
