Marietta Mae Sikes Moore

Marietta Mae Sikes Moore, 89, of Rogers, passed away at Circle of Life Hospice in Springdale, on June 19, 2021, surrounded by her family. She was born April 6, 1932, in Fayetteville, to Horace A. Sikes and Jewell Mae Wafer Sikes. Marietta, a homemaker, was a particularly gifted gardener who greatly prized her beautiful blooms and enjoyed sharing them with loved ones. When not hard at work outside, she was most often found in the kitchen whipping up enough of her delicious food to feed an army. Marietta's devotion to her family was unparalleled, and few things made her happier than spending time with, and overfeeding, her grandkids and their babies. She was also highly adept at word games, never losing a Scrabble match or starting a crossword puzzle she couldn't finish. Marietta was preceded in death by her parents; her beloved husband of over 55 years, Howard Lee Moore, Sr.; her son, Donald Gene Moore, and his wife, Gloria; and three sisters, Helen O'Neal, Emma Simpson, and Juanita Apon. She is survived by her daughter, Carmen Maria Smith, and husband, Mick, of Rogers; her son, Howard Lee Moore, Jr., and wife, Kelly, of Springdale; four brothers, R.H. Sikes, J.D. Sikes, L.C. Sikes, and Danny Sikes, all of Springdale; one sister, Marcia Baker, of Springdale; seven grandchildren, Andrea Logan of Rogers, Glenn Logan III (Marisela) of Clearwater, Fla., Christopher Logan of Gateway, Mo., Christopher Smith of Mission Viejo, Calif., Whitney Warren (Samuel) of Los Angeles, Calif., Alan Moore (Brittany) of Fayetteville, and Shelby Reichart (Casey) of Davenport, Iowa; 14 great-grandchildren, Gavin Collins, Zac Collins, Christian Rodriguez, Raven Logan, Harlow Logan, Sebastian Velazquez, Faith Logan, Scarlett Logan, KayLee Logan, Lily Rae Smith, Beckham Smith, Cecily Warren, Marvin Warren, and Carter Lee Reichart; and six great-great-grandchildren, Cristy Graham, Connor Collins, Oakley Collins, Jordan Collins, Everly Collins, and Norah Collins.
