Nann Sims (Duncan) Powell, age 69, of Conway was called peacefully home to Jesus on Jan. 7, 2016, surrounded by her loving family. She was born in Pine Bluff, Ark. on May 2, 1946 to Jack F. Sims Sr. and Theda Bill Sims. She is survived by her best friend and loving husband of nearly 20 years, Clark Powell; twin daughters, also her best friends, Cindy DuPriest (Tom) and Sharon Gulutzo (John), step-sons Heath Powell (Camie) and Colt Powell (Lesli), dear sisters Laura Gladys Hopson and Cindy Lawrence (Richard), and brother Jack F.

Other survivors include 10 nieces and nephews and special friends Carvis and Angie Palmer and godson Kalon Palmer. Nann had a rewarding career as a radiology technician until she retired from Arkansas Children's Hospital in Little Rock. For the past year, she worked at Walmart in Conway and made a host of wonderful friends. She was a spirited, sassy woman who enjoyed reading, trips to the library and relaxing on her front porch with her three beloved dogs. One of her favorite activities was deer hunting with her husband Clark, and proudly got two deer in her final season. She enjoyed shopping trips, going to the movies, and long chats with her daughters, Cindy and Sharon. She was especially proud to see her sweet granddaughters Holly Ray and Sophia Gulutzo successfully begin their college educations. Her family looks forward to the day they are reunited with her in the arms of our Heavenly Father. Nann will be remembered at a private family service.
