Arcella Willetta Hayden

Life Reflections Arcella Willetta Hayden, better known as "The Queen," was born December 14, 1935, to Louise Beavers and Oscar Farrar. Both parents preceded her in death, as did her youngest daughter, Sharrallel. Arcella confessed her hope in Christ at an early age, and attended First Baptist Church in Pacific, MO, until the last flood. When she was able, she attended Pacific Church of God in Christ. Arcella was united in Holy Matrimony with William Curtis Hayden, and to that union three children were born: Marsha, Sheila, and Sharrellel. The Queen loved people. She was such a loving, caring, and thoughtful soul, always checking on family and friends to make sure everyone was well. She loved to cook and have big barbecues, at which she was the hostess with the mostest and the life of any event. To cherish her loving memory, Arcella leaves her daughters Sheila Givens (Michael) and Marsha Coleman (Charles); an extra daughter Gwen Yokely, her grandchildren, Keydra, La'Keia, La'Keysha, Sharea, and Robert, her great grandchildren, Aniya, Laila, Jurnee, and Jaden, a sister, Sharon Johnson, a half-brother Leonard Turner, and a host of other relatives and friends. CHANGE OF ADDRESS NOTICE Please be advised that my address has changed. I will no longer reside at 513 S. Second, Pacific, MO 63069. I have been preparing to move into my new residence for quite some time. I wanted it to be just right because I won't move again. It took a lot of perseverance and hard work, but I kept building. I felt like giving up, but my Master Carpenter was always there to encourage, strengthen and urge me on. MY NEW HOME WILL LAST FOR ETERNITY It will be indefinitely sustained, no energy cost, no need for a hospital, doctor visit, or medicine. Every day will be Sunday, and rejoicing will be eternal. FINALLY, ON NOVEMBER 7, 2020 My building was completed, and my heavenly assistant angels came to take me to my final rest-ing place. To my children and grandchildren, I want you to know that I lingered as long us I could. I know you will miss me, but you will have each other for support. Please don't try to contact me by phone or facetime. The technology is useless here. When you want to reach me, look inside yourself. Summon me through the memories of your unique, unfor-gettable experiences. Go now and gel busy preparing for your new home, for one day you will live in any neighborhood.
