Barnes
Jan 21, 1965 — Mar 7, 2026
Durant
Rebecca "Becky" Lanan Hollis Barnes, 61, of Durant, Oklahoma, formerly of Stamps, Arkansas, passed away on March 7, 2026. Becky was born on January 21, 1965, in Lewisville, Arkansas, to the late Nickey and LaRonda Hollis. She was a proud graduate of Stamps High School, Class of 1983, and remained a proud Yellowjacket throughout her life. Becky dedicated much of her life to serving the citizens of Lafayette County. She began working for the county in 1997 and proudly served as the elected Lafayette County Tax Assessor from 2007 to 2018. She faithfully served in that role, earning the respect and friendship of many throughout the community through her commitment and service.
Above all else, Becky loved her family. She was a dedicated and loving mother who went above and beyond to make sure her children had everything they needed. Her family was the center of her world. Her greatest joy in life was being "Nana" to her grandchildren. Bethany, Jaxen, and Paislynn were truly the light of her life, and she treasured every moment spent with them. Becky was known as the very best Nana, and her love for her grandchildren was evident to everyone who knew her. She also had a special fondness for the color purple, which perfectly matched her warm and vibrant spirit. Her greatest joy was being a mother and Nana, and the love she poured into her family will live on in their hearts forever.
She was preceded in death by her parents, Nickey and LaRonda Hollis. She is survived by her brother, Nickey Glenn Hollis and wife Elizabeth; her son, Justin Barnes and wife Lynnette; her daughter, Courtney Vickers and husband Zack; her beloved grandchildren, Bethany, Jaxen, and Paislynn; her nephew, Nickey Lane Hollis and wife Marley; her niece, Bridget Haling and husband Stephen; and numerous friends who loved her dearly and were loved by her in return.
Honoring Becky as Pallbearers will be Nickey Hollis, Daniel Harrison, Geordan Allen, Chase Williams, Jeremy Talley, and Scotty Wilkerson. Honorary Pallbearers will be, Charlie Goodwin and Larry Hovarter
