Rebecca Louise Flaherty

REBECCA LOUISE (LOU) FLAHERTY, passed away on Tuesday, March 28, 2017, after a valiant fight against cancer. She was born on January 14, 1942 in New Madrid, Mo., to the late Ed and Dixie Inmon. She was a graduate of Arkansas State University, attended UCA, and held a Master's Degree in Special Education. An elementary school teacher for more than 39 years, she initially taught at Warren Dupree Elementary, and later Bayou Meto Elementary School, both in Jacksonville. She enjoyed teaching children more than any activity in life. Described by those who knew her as the most considerate person they had ever encountered, she enjoyed doing for others. Over the years she provided volunteer services to such social non-profit organizations as Pathfinder Schools for the mentally and physically handicapped in Jacksonville, and Our House Homeless Shelter in Little Rock. She is survived by her husband Joseph (Joe) Flaherty; her sister, Shelba Inmon Carlisle; brothers, Frank and Bill Inmon; and many nieces and nephews. The family would like to thank the wonderful nurses and staff of Ward 3B, Springhill Baptist Medical Center, NLR, who hovered over and cared for her and her family during her final days. They are truly angels. Memorial services will be from 10 a.m. until 12 p.m. Saturday, April 8, 2017, at Moore's Jacksonville Funeral Home. In lieu of flowers contributions may be made to your favorite charity. Arrangements by Moore's Jacksonville Funeral Home & Crematory, (501) 982-2136.
