Mrs. Marzee Ann Hyneman, 87 of Jonesboro passed away on Saturday, Jan. 27, 2007. She was a loving mother, grandmother, wife, and friend and will be greatly missed by all who knew her.

She was preceded in death by her husband, Frank Hyneman; father, Forrest Rowan; mother, Carrie Rains Holt; step father, W. C. Holt and her brother and sister-in-law, Burness and Mary Holt.

She was born on Thursday, Aug. 28, 1919 in Jonesboro to Forrest and Carrie Rowan. After her father's death in an accident, she was raised by her mother Carrie Rains Holt and step-father, William Charles Holt. She was a graduate of Jonesboro High School in 1936 and Arkansas State University in 1940. While in college she was a member of the Alpha Tau Zeta and Phi Gamma Mu sororities, the French club and the home economics club. In addition, she was selected as journalism queen while at Arkansas State.

She was married to Frank Hyneman on December 12, 1943 just prior to him being sent overseas during World War II. Upon his return from the war they moved to Trumann where she was active in the community. She was a member of the Century Arts and Civic Club and Daughters of the American Revolution. She was president of the Trumann Parent Teacher Association in 1961-1962; was the coordinator of Trumann's celebration of the USA Bicentennial in 1976 and was the first ever recipient of the "Woman of the Year" Award given by the Trumann Jaycettes. In addition, she opened her home at Weona to the Trumann Fine Arts Council Mayfest musical celebration for several years. She was a member of the First United Methodist Church in Trumann and perhaps her proudest accomplishment was the 17 years she served as choir director.
