Marge Prince

(From Ozark Funeral Home)

Margaret “Marge” Marie Prince, 64, of Pineville, Missouri, departed this life peacefully on Monday, March 24th, 2025, at Circle of Life Hospice in Bentonville, Arkansas. She was born on November 11th, 1960, in Geneva, Ohio to James Prince Sr. and Margaret Prince (Masters).

Marge’s work ethic was as strong as her devotion to her family. Tyson’s had the privilege of employing her for nearly 30 years. During that time, she met many people, some of whom became lifelong friends. Marge’s love for all things nature was evident in the pride she had in her garden, where she would spend countless hours, and also tending to her animals. Marge also enjoyed spending time with friends and family, often hosting gatherings where she would make some of the best BBQ ribs.

She was preceded in death by her parents; brother, James Prince Jr.; and sister, Joanne Prince. She is survived by her husband, Ricky Deskins, of the home; two brothers, David Prince and Julie, and Keith Prince; one sister, Judy Luce; six nieces, Jessica Sutherland and Cody, Leah Smith and Justin, Kaitlyn McWilliams, Lynn Sardella and Steve, Brittany Prince, and Brooke Prince; eight nephews, Christopher Catron and Jennifer, Kevin Luce and Kirsten, Craig Luce and Tisha, Michael Prince and Ashley, Aaron Prince, Jeremy Prince, David Prince Jr., and Cameron Prince; as well as a host of other family and friends who will miss her dearly.

Visitation is scheduled for Sunday, March 30th, 2025, from 1:00 pm to 4:00 pm, where the family will accept friends and family. A funeral service will be held on Monday, March 31st, 2025, at 2:00 pm at Ozark Funeral Home in Anderson, MO, followed by graveside/burial at Bentonville Cemetery at 3:00 pm. 

The family requests those attending to wear denim/jeans and colorful clothing, as this is a celebration of Marge’s life and she would not want depressing attire. Those honoring her life by serving as pallbearers are Cody Sutherland, Justin Smith, Justin Morris, Andrew Morris, J.T. Skaggs, and Zak Bontke.

Arrangements are under the care of Ozark Funeral Home in Anderson, Missouri. In lieu of flower arrangements, the family requests plants which can be re-planted so they can live on in the memory of Marge.
