Annie Belle King Page

 Annie Belle (Ann) King Page, a beloved mom, Nanaw, and great-grandmother, passed away peacefully on December 19, 2024 at the age of 94. She was preceded in death by her husband, John E. Page, her infant son, James Paul, her parents, all of North Little Rock, and three sisters. 

 A devout Catholic, Ann was a former parishioner of St. Anne’s Catholic Church in North Little Rock and a current member of St. Joseph’s Catholic Church in Conway, Arkansas. She dedicated her life to education, teaching at St. Patrick’s Elementary School and later retiring from NLR Catholic Academy, formerly known as St. Mary’s Elementary School. 

 Ann's passion for teaching went beyond the classroom. She was known for her unwavering dedication to her students, often staying late to provide extra support and encouragement. Many of her former students remember her as a guiding light who inspired them to reach their full potential. Her impact on the community was profound, as she touched countless lives with her kindness, patience, and nurturing spirit. 

 She leaves behind her five children: John M. Page of North Little Rock, Sharon Johnson (Dennis), Melanie Kordsmeier (Danny), Mary Pollock, all of Conway, and Barbara Page (Greg Crawford) from Little Rock. Ann's legacy continues through her 14 grandchildren and 20 great-grandchildren, who will forever cherish her memory. 

 Family was of utmost importance to Ann. She was always available to listen and offer advice, providing a constant source of wisdom and comfort. Her grandchildren and great-grandchildren brought her immense joy, and she delighted in their achievements and happiness. 

 The family would like to thank her caregivers who lovingly and respectfully cared for her, Gentiva Hospice, Kirstie Hoelzeman, and Ronesha Patterson.
