Nancy Lynch

Nancy Elizabeth Lynch of Waldron, Arkansas, passed away on August 6, 2025, in Fort Smith, Arkansas, at the age of 48. She was born on January 15, 1977, in Fort Smith to Joe Franklin Helton and Willie Delores (Sexton) Helton.

Nancy worked for many years as a box machine operator at Tyson Foods. She was a hardworking, loving woman who cherished her family above all else. Her greatest joy came from spending time with her grandchildren and celebrating holidays-especially Easter and Thanksgiving-surrounded by those she loved.

She is survived by Kenny Lynch; her children, Makenzi Godfrey, Anastisia Bolin, Stephen Wagner, and Keegan Lynch; and her siblings, Janet Neill, Lavada Allen, Joanna Hyde, Dorothy Preston, and Joe Helton, Jr. "Nana" also leaves behind eight beloved grandchildren: Xaiden, Dylan, Tatum, Penelope, Harper, Brycen, Paxton, and Devyn.

She was preceded in death by her son, Dylan Wagner; her daughter, Faith Lynch; and her parents, Joe and Willie Helton.

Nancy's warmth, strength, and devotion to her family will be deeply missed by all who knew and loved her.

A private memorial service will be held at a later date.

Arrangements are being entrusted to Heritage Memorial Funeral Home in Waldron, Arkansas.
