Ms. Alissa Jane Bolton

March 17, 1958 - March 6, 2020

Alissa Jane Bolton 61, passed away peacefully Friday, March 6, 2020 at Flo & Phil Jones Hospice in Jonesboro with her loving family by her side. Born to Benny and Della Lamar in Tampa, Florida, she was one of 16 children. Although Alissa had a very humble upbringing on the inside, she had a big heart. When most children were out playing, she was learning to hunt to put food on the table. She became a sharpshooter at a very young age. Alissa worked a lot of years at the Sunbeam plant in Paragould. She never met a stranger and would give the shirt off her back to someone in need. Alissa felt her biggest accomplishment in life was her three children. More than anything she wanted to see them healthy, happy and successful. She was so proud of them and was always their biggest cheerleader and supporter. She was preceded in death by her parents Benny and Della (Hendley) Lamar, one brother Joseph Lamar and two sisters Betty Jeannette Waddell and Vada Marie Burge. Alissa leaves behind her three children Jason (Lora) Haggard and Tony Bolton Jr. both of Paragould and Amber Bolton of Searcy, Arkansas; seven grandchildren Jace Bailey, Sebastian Haggard, Jayden Haggard, Maisey Haggard, Paxton Haggard, Arabella Vanpelt, and Ezekiah Bolton; six brothers O'Neil (Kay) Lamar of Haiti, Mo, James (Jean) Lamar of Monette, Arkansas, Melvin (Brenda) Lamar of Rector, Arkansas, William (Tracy) Lamar, Greg (Nancy) Lamar and Anthony Lamar all of Paragould, Arkansas; six sisters Katherine (Merle) Watson of Peach Orchard, Arkansas, Cathy (John) Pilcher of Cedar Rapids, Iowa, Melody (John) West of Kentucky, Patricia Lunsford, Lorrie (Terry) Clark and Elizabeth (Roy) Campbell all of Paragould, Arkansas; and a host of nephews, nieces, and lifelong friends. A celebration of Alissa’s life will be held March 14th 2-6 PM at Ramers Chapel Cemetery located at 100 Greene Road 402 in Lafe, Arkansas.
