Jerald Thomas Boling

Jerald "Jerry" T. Boling, 74, of Gravette, Ark., passed peacefully at home on Thursday, May 5, 2022. Jerry was born March 12, 1948, in Gravette to Cecil and Carrie (Edgmon) Boling. Jerry married the love of his life, Patricia Spears, on December 12, 1970. They started their farm in Gravette, where they raised cattle and broiler chickens. They have two children, Stephanie and Amanda. Jerry was a homebody. He enjoyed working on his farm and spending time with his family, which was his greatest achievement. He was one of the hardest working men you would ever meet. When he wasn't working on the farm, you could find him at home watching "Gunsmoke" and enjoying time with his family. Nothing made Jerry happier than his grandchildren. Jerry was preceded in death by his parents, Cecil and Carrie Boling; his nephew, Jason Bertschy and his niece, Carissa Crawford. Jerry is survived by his wife, Patricia; his daughters, Stephanie Boling (Matt Davis) and Amanda (Michael) Nunes; his three grandchildren, Peyton and Jace Nunes and Gaines Davis; his three brothers, Bob Boling, Larry Boling, and Danny Boling and his two sisters, Shirley Bertschy and Janice Spradlin.
