Herbert Wells

Herbert Louie Wells, age 82, of Hope, Arkansas, passed away Wednesday, May 22, 2024. Born on December 29, 1941, in Drasco, Arkansas, he was the son of the late Leonard and Lona Mae Wells. 

Louie enjoyed woodworking, fishing, and hunting—especially turkey hunting adventures. He was the best steak grill master and could fry up a mean fish dinner. Mostly he was thought to be a quiet man, but sometimes he had quite a lot to say. He enjoyed reminiscing about growing up “in the country” around Drasco, Concord, and Heber Springs, Arkansas. He had a dry wit and warm smile. Louie was a retiree of Firestone Company, and enjoyed owning/operating Betty’s Framing, along with his wife, for over 25 years. 

He was preceded in death by his parents, Leonard and Lona Mae Wells; his wife, Betty Ann Wells; his former wife, Donna Lacy Wells; and grandson Chad Pace. 

He is survived by his daughters: Tammy Sharp (Phillip) of Vilonia, Arkansas; Diane Morris Buescher of Dallas, Texas; and his son, Charles “Chuck” Morris, of Hope, Arkansas. He is also survived by his granddaughter, Lindsey Sharp, of Sherwood, Arkansas. Mr. Wells is also survived by other relatives and friends. 

Visitation will be held from 2:00pm – 4:00pm on Tuesday, May 28, 2024 at Olmstead Funeral Home with a graveside service immediately following in Friendship North Cemetery, Drasco, AR
