Edna Pearl Yarberry Wilson

Edna Pearl Yarberry Wilson—known to many as EP—passed away at 91 on July 5, 2025, in Stuttgart, AR, surrounded by the love of her family both near and far. She was born on April 7, 1934, in Mabelvale, AR, and married Bill M. Wilson in 1959. They shared fifty-eight years together.

She was committed to her faith and was a charter member of three churches—Cedar Lane, Springlake, and Stuttgart Community—all Church of the Nazarene. She may be best remembered for her youth-group pool parties, homemade biscuits, enthusiastic laugh, and abundant kindness. She will be greatly missed by her family and friends.

She was preceded in death by her husband, Bill M. Wilson, and her parents, Edna and Robert Yarberry.

She is survived by two children: Linda (Keith) Corpier of Stuttgart, AR, and Clifford (Michelle) Wilson of Danbury, TX; four grandchildren: Garrett Corpier, Katie (Jesse) Hill, Michael (Rylie) Wilson, and Rachel Wilson; two great-grandchildren: Asher and Ellie Mae Wilson; and her sister, Virginia (James) Rock.

A visitation will be held on Tuesday, July 8, 2025 from 5:00-7:00 PM at Smith Little Rock Funeral Home in Little Rock, AR.
