Virginia Ann Weems

Virginia Ann Weems, 63, of Benton, Arkansas, peacefully passed away on September 24, 2026. She was born on October 21, 1962, in Little Rock, Arkansas.

Virginia graduated from Arkadelphia High School. She spent much of her life devoted to her family, especially her children, and was a loving and dedicated mother. Although she worked various jobs throughout her life, her greatest role was being there for her family. In her 40s, health issues led to her becoming disabled, but those challenges never changed the love she had for the people who meant the most to her.

Virginia was funny, outgoing, and never short on a story to tell. She spoke her mind and was never afraid to let you know exactly what she thought. She could be stubborn, too, but that same determination was part of what made her who she was. If Virginia cared about you, you knew it. She was honest because she cared, and she loved her family fiercely.

Virginia had a strong and genuine faith in the Lord. Although her health sometimes made it difficult for her to attend church, her love for God never wavered. Her faith was an important part of who she was, and she carried that love for the Lord with her through every season of her life.

Her children were especially important to her. Virginia was a devoted mother who loved Rachel and Jacob deeply and was always proud of them. She found joy in the things she loved: playing pickleball, shopping, and especially music. She loved to sing, and those who heard her knew she had a beautiful voice. Her laughter, her stories, her opinions, and her unmistakable personality will be remembered by all who had the privilege of knowing her.

Virginia leaves behind her daughter, Rachel Deyoung, and son, Jacob McNabb; her father, Woodrow Ligon; her mother, Lavine Lindsey Watson; her sister, Donna (Jimmy) Todd; and her brother, Bill (Sarah) Ligon; along with a host of nieces, nephews, extended family, and close friends who will miss her dearly. She was preceded in death by her Stepfather, Terry Watson.

The family would like to extend a special thank you to everyone who has reached out, offered support, and prayed for Virginia and her loved ones during this time.

A memorial service honoring Virginia’s life will be held Saturday, October 3, 2026, at 1:00 p.m. at Bible Missionary Church, 12613 Interstate 30 S., Benton, Arkansas 72015.

Virginia lived life in her own way and was never afraid to be exactly who she was. She leaves behind more than memories...she leaves behind stories that will continue to be told, songs that will bring her to mind, and the lasting imprint of a woman who loved her family deeply and was loved deeply in return.
