Jeanine Elise Cawley, 86, a resident of Fayetteville and previously of Prairie Grove passed away February 14, 2016 at Willard Walker Hospice Home in Fayetteville. She was born June 22, 1929 in Hastings, Nebraska, the daughter of Marshall and Lillian Seberg Whitcomb. She was a member of the First Baptist Church in Prairie Grove. She was preceded in death by her husband William Cawley, her parents, one sister Pat Sterner of Oregon, and one son-in-law Clay Dizney of Prairie Grove. Survivors include one daughter, Linda Dizney of Prairie Grove; two sons, Steven Cawley of Fayetteville and David Cawley and wife Debbie of Rogers; two sisters, Karen Johnston of California and Marsha Pettijohn of Oregon; four grandchildren, Sean Dizney of Prairie Grove, Brian Dizney and wife Heather of Tonitown, Darren Cawley and fiance' Alyson White of Rogers and Denise Andert and husband Derek of Rogers; three great-grandchildren Emily, Colton, and Brooklyn. She loved to sew, crochet, garden, camp, and read. She enjoyed her time in the kitchen baking cookies for her family, and no one could match her cinnamon rolls. Her threats to get out her wooden spoon always kept her grandchildren and great-grandchildren in line, though she rarely ever used it. She was a loving wife, mother, grandmother, and great-grandmother. She was active in her church where she enjoyed singing in the choir and working in the baby nursery. The family will receive friends Friday evening from 6-7 p.m. at Luginbuel Funeral Home.
