Saturday, November 18th, 2023, Mlynda Lou Crabb, 47, of Redfield, Arkansas, went to be with the Lord. She went peacefully in her home, surrounded by her loved ones. She was born on February 19, 1976, in Little Rock, Arkansas, to Lynda Thomas Dean and Don Dean. She was raised by her Aunt Elica Gongaware with her three siblings.

She is survived by her loving husband Greg and their three children: Makaylen, Christian, and Jase and bonus child Rylie; her father Don Dean; sisters Julie Koch, Misty LaRoe, Madonna Isom, and brother Michael Smith; many nieces and nephews; Kleia LaRoe, Dallas LaRoe, Taylor Odom, Andrew Isom, Maia Smith, Sophia Smith, Noah Brubaker, Ethan Brubaker, Emily Rychly, Carter Rychly, and Raven Harrison; Aunt Rita Dean, Linda Schales, and Trisha Davis; and her great niece Alisa Isom. She was preceded in death by her mother, Lynda Thomas Dean, her grandparents Pat and Jack Thomas, her grandparents Willy and Evenly Dean, uncles Darell Dean, Ricky Schales, and Terry Davis.

Mlynda worked for Arkansas Heart Hospital for 25  years as an account specialist, where she enjoyed working alongside her coworkers. She was an active member of The Lone Pine Missionary Baptist Church. She was a testament to her Lord and her faith never wavered even in her moments of despair. She enjoyed photography and making people laugh. She could make anyone smile with her sense of humor. Mlynda could always see the best in people and would go out of her way to help someone. Her positivity was so contagious, and she maintained it even to the end. Her faith was so strong that she knew she was going home to the Lord. She leaves behind a legacy of faith, hope, caring and compassion.

In lieu of flowers, the family asks that donations be sent to the Susan G. Komen Breast Cancer Foundation or a local animal shelter.

Mlynda will be forever loved and missed. Rest in peace
