Joanne Holland Barham age 89 of Conway, Arkansas went to be with her Lord and Savior on March 26, 2022. She happily reunites with her late husband Robert O. Bob Barham, after being apart from each other almost 43 years. She also joins many loved ones who preceded her.
Joanne was born on December 7, 1932 in Quitman, Arkansas to the late Arthur Jennings Holland and Muriel Tarver Holland.
Joanne grew up in Conway and was well-known while working in the banking industry for almost 43 years, retiring in 1994. She began her banking career in 1951 with First State Bank & Trust Company in Conway. For many years, she was the beautiful and bright smiling face at one of the teller windows who came to know her customers regularly and treated many of them like family. She built long-lasting friendships and they loved her, and she loved them.
Joanne was a 1950 graduate of Conway High School. Throughout the years after graduation, she was active in helping to plan high school reunions. She was also on the committee for The Antique Wampus Cat with one of her favorite classmates and good friend Jim Stone. She loved the Wampus Cats and the Razorbacks.
On May 2, 1954, Joanne married the love of her life, Robert O. Bob Barham of Conway. Bob had recently been honorably discharged from the United States Air Force. If you knew Joanne, you knew how much in love she was with ''her Bob''. They enjoyed each other for 26 years of marriage until Bob's sudden death in 1980 at age 53. After several years, Joanne would eventually marry George Ray Evatt of Conway. George was a wonderful husband to Joanne, and a great stepfather and grandpa to the Barham family. Joanne and George loved each other and shared many special times together going to Branson, MO and attending family reunions in Mt. View, AR and Hot Springs, AR until his passing in March 2015.
Joanne was a faithful member of Robinson & Center Church of Christ in Conway. She loved the Lord, and she loved her church family. This was most evident by the way she lived her life. She had a ''servants' heart'', always serving others before she considered herself. She was a wonderful and devoted wife, mother, grandmother, and great grandmother. But to our family, Joanne was known as ''Zsa Zsa'', a name her grandson Brandon gave her when he was little, as he tried to say grandma, it came out as ''Zsa Zsa''. She loved that name and proudly owned it. We will forever be thankful for her life, the love she shared in so many ways, and the times we were blessed to be able to spend with her. We will miss our Zsa Zsa.
Joanne is preceded in death by her parents Arthur J. Holland and Muriel Tarver Holland, her husband Robert O. Bob Barham, her husband George Ray Evatt, and one brother, Harold A. Holland of Napa, CA.
She is survived by her son, Bob Barham (Lee) of Conway; her daughter, Nancy Barham (Jack) of Corpus Christi, TX; Grandchildren, Brandon Robert Barham (fiancé McKenna Root) of Greenwood, AR; Mallory Katherine Barham (Matthew Bailey) of Conway; Great grandson, Braxton Robert Barham of Greenwood, AR; Step-sons, Kenny Evatt of Conway; Johnny Evatt (Tasha) of Shawnee, KS; Stepdaughter, DeeAnn Evatt Sneed (Sam) of Conway; Step-grandchildren, Addison Robin (Andrew) of Magnolia, TX; Madeline Moore of Corsicana TX; Brad Hartwick (Kelly) of Conway; Brian Hartwick (Heather) of Jacksonville, FL; Jared Evatt (Amanda) of Shawnee, KS; and Kailee Evatt (fiancé Logan Schmidt) of Clearwater, FL; and a host of nieces and nephews that she dearly loved.
