Versie N. Lockhart

Versie Nora Lockhart entered her life a blessing from God on January 30, 1963, to the late O.B. and Elizabeth "Liz" Lockhart in Marianna, Arkansas.

Surrounded by her sisters, Versie entered into the presence of the Lord on November 18, 2025, where she will ever be encumbered by the cares of this world.

Versie confessed her belief in Christ at an early age at the Bethelhem Missionary Baptist Church in Marianna, AR. After leaving Marianna and arriving in Pine Bluff, she changed her membership to Community Missionary Baptist Church now known as New Community Church under the leadership of Apostle Patrick Lockett, Sr. She loved her church and its family. She attended Sunday School faithfully and sang with the choir until her health failed.

Versie attended schools in Marianna and graduated at Lee Senior High School with the class of 1982 and had a close relationship with the class of 1983. After high school she traveled to Pine Bluff and attended cosmetology school, later becoming a licensed cosmetologist.
