IN LOVING MEMORY OF
Hailey Keen
Rhodes
November 21, 1997 – June 26, 2025
Hailey DeAnn Katherine Keen Rhodes of Leola, Arkansas was born November 21, 1997 at Hot Springs, Arkansas, the daughter of Sean Howard Keen and Frankie Jean Ragsdale Anderson. She was a member of Leola Missionary Baptist Church and a graduate of Poyen High School in 2016. Hailey was foremost a homemaker, but she also worked a few days a week at ASU Three Rivers, helping people obtain their GED. To say that Hailey loved life was a huge understatement. Her family and friends describe her as a being kind to everyone, a person who was giving and had a servant's heart. She was a caregiver who had a pure heart and soul. Hailey's faith was very important to her, and she didn't just claim to be a Christian, she truly lived it. The things she enjoyed varied greatly, but the common thread was that whatever the situation, she found joy in it. From her shopping adventures, whether in the nicest store or Goodwill, she'd find the bargains and take home some shirts. She was perfectly happy sitting on her back porch in awe of God's creation. Every season was her favorite, and she looked forward to the next one coming. She would decorate for every holiday, and she dearly loved her little community in Leola. From feeding the bees, to going to the lake, playing board games (especially dominos), and being with her Aunt LeAnn and Aunt Tami, she was never bored and wasn't often still too long. When she did slow down, she'd curl up and binge watch movies or her favorite tv show Vampire Diaries. She loved her husband, her family, and her friends with all her heart and enjoyed making sweet memories with them all.
Hailey died Thursday, June 26, 2025 at Baptist Medical Center in Little Rock, at the age of 27. She was preceded in death by her uncles, Timmy Keen and Dennis Ragsdale, and her grandparents, Wesley Keen, Glenda Keen, Mary Jane Bates, Olen Bates.
Survivors include her best friend and husband, Robert Rhodes. They were married February 1, 2021; parents, Sean Keen (Tracy), Frankie Anderson (Jeremiah); siblings, Kristin Keen, Tristin Keen (Courtney), Brittany Terrell, Tiffany Terrell, Carson Keen, Kaiden Keen, Jeremiah Anderson, Michael Stone, Mikala Paty (Dillon); grandparents, Jimmy Pennington, Bonnie Pennington, Danny Ragsdale, Kathy Ragsdale; nieces and nephews, Gabrelle, Daylen, Grace, Olivia. She is also survived by a host of aunts, uncles, cousins, other family members and lots of friends. She would be upset if we didn't list her dog "Barksley" as a survivor also who she loved as if she was her own child.
