Amy Lynn LeSieur
September 14, 1971 - March 5, 2026

Amy Lynn LeSieur, 54, of Lowell, Arkansas, passed away peacefully on March 5, 2026, surrounded by love.

To her family, friends and even casual strangers, she was a source of joy and kindness. To those who knew her well, she provided inspiration, wisdom and steadfast support, but she balanced that depth with a playful streak of quick humor that could instantly brighten a room. Outside of her accomplished career, in community healthcare, she found joy in crafting new treasures from items that she thrifted, and traveling with friends and family who found her dock fishing during those trips.

She was incredibly devoted to her husband Daniel, beloved niece Jasmine (Billy) Griffitts and great-nephew, Fitz Griffitts whom she affectionately considered a grandson.

Diagnosed with pancreatic cancer in October 2024, Amy faced the illness with courage and grace. To encourage others diagnosed or effected by the disease, she shared her journey through MyPanCanJourney.com.

A private Celebration of Life honoring Amy will be held on Saturday, March 14, 2026, at Walk Your Plans NWA Immersive Studio in Fayetteville, Arkansas. In lieu of flowers or gifts, Amy requested that those wishing to honor her memory consider making a donation to the J.B. Hunt Transport Cancer Support Home in Northwest Arkansas.

Jonathan Jude Gretz Sr.
August 12, 1963 - February 27, 2026

Jonathan Jude Gretz was born on August 12, 1963, in Milwaukee, Wisconsin. He passed away on February 27, 2026, from health complications related to an illness. Those who knew Jon knew a man marked by kindness, thoughtfulness and deep love for his family—and a mischievous, playful streak that brought laughter to everyday moments.

Jon was a joyful person with a heart for helping others. Although he held several careers throughout his life, his greatest professional fulfillment came in his role at Mercy Hospital, where he served as Supervisor-Site Support for the past seven years. He took pride in supporting systems that served both staff and patients and valued the “work family” he found there.

His care for others extended beyond the workplace. Jon often welcomed people into his home—even those he barely knew—simply to help someone through a struggle. He also had a natural way of engaging people in conversation; it was rare to meet him without walking away with something new to think about.

Above all else, Jon was deeply proud of his two sons, Jonathan and Peregrine. Jonathan is an Army veteran, and Peregrine is currently serving in the United States Navy. They have grown into fine men and were his greatest pride. Some of his favorite moments were the simple ones—playing chess, sharing sushi, working on Saturday projects with his dad, and enjoying outdoor adventures in Colorado, where he lived for many years.

Jon was also a proud Navy veteran. His service remained close to his heart throughout his life. He loved his country, his family, and found meaning in showing up for others whenever he could.

He was preceded in death by his mother, Reba Gretz.

He is survived by his sons, Jonathan Gretz Jr. (Sylvia) of Centerton, Arkansas, and Peregrine Gretz of Springdale, Arkansas, currently stationed in South Carolina; his father, Ronald G. Gretz of Lowell, Arkansas; his siblings, Ronald R. Gretz (Bonnie) of Elkins, Arkansas; Beth Davies (Ric) of Springdale, Arkansas; and Jana Hanshew of Lowell, Arkansas; along with many cousins, nieces, nephews, and extended family members.

Jon will be remembered for his warm smile, deep thoughts, steady willingness to help, and the love he carried for those closest to him. He will be deeply missed.

A private family gathering will be held to celebrate Jon’s life. In accordance with his wishes, Jon’s ashes will be spread in a place that held special meaning to him.

Janet Castillo
July 14, 1944 - February 14, 2026

In Memory of Janet “Jo” Castillo, lovingly known as “Jo,” passed away in Siloam Springs, Arkansas, leaving behind a legacy of strength, devotion, and quiet joy.

Born in California to her cherished parents, Connie and Fidel. Jo was a beloved sister to Rodger and Virginia, a cherished sister-in-law to Cheryl and Joanie, an aunt to her only nephew Mark and dear friend to Blondie for 40 years.

Jo was the soulmate and spouse of 47 years to her devoted partner, Elizabeth. Together, they built a life rooted in love, loyalty, and adventure. Their journey took them from California to Nevada and Idaho, and eventually to Arkansas, where Jo spent her final chapter surrounded by her family and the simple pleasures she treasured most.
he was a mother to Desiree, Kristiana, Candace, Amber, and Cassandra, and a grandmother to Quinten, Nation, Finley, Lily, Ivy, Kenneth, Emberly, and Roxalynn. Her grandchildren were among her greatest joys, and she delighted in every moment spent with them—especially the special years she shared traveling alongside Elizabeth and her grandson Quinten during retirement. She was a steady presence in the lives of all who knew her.

Jo carried with her the resilience and warmth that would define her life. Her work ethic and determination were evident throughout her life. In her early 20s and 30s, she worked as a banker, building a strong professional foundation. Later, she boldly charted a new path, becoming a proud truck driver and business owner for 15 years. She took immense pride in her independence and accomplishments, embracing the open road with confidence and courage.

Beyond her work and family, Jo found happiness in life’s simple comforts. She loved the ocean and felt a deep peace whenever she was near it. She was an avid reader, especially fond of Sherlock Holmes mysteries, and she enjoyed quiet, lazy Sundays watching Law & Order or The Golden Girls. Jo also enjoyed the company of her many dogs she had owned over the years. Most of all, her Stormi. These small rituals and pets brought her comfort and contentment throughout the years.

Jo will be remembered for her strength, her steadfast love, her adventurous spirit, and the warmth she gave so freely. Her life was one of dedication—to her family, her work, and the moments that made life meaningful.

She leaves behind a family who will forever carry her memory in their hearts. Her love endures in every mile traveled, every ocean breeze felt, every mystery solved, and every Sunday spent together.
