Lois "Ozella" McVay Anderson

January 13, 1944 — September 4, 2021

Lois “Ozella” McVay Anderson, age 77, of Hot Springs, went home to be with her Lord on Saturday, September 4, 2021.

She was born in Benton, Arkansas, on January 13, 1944, the daughter of Ewell Gilford McVay and Helen Mae Moody McVay. She was married to the love of her life, Kenneth Ray Anderson on February 9, 1962, he preceded her in death after 48 years of a wonderful marriage on March 10, 2010. She is also preceded in death by her parents; her siblings, Mary Elizabeth Lindsey, Ona Spinnenweber, Gilford McVay, JD McVay and Albert McVay.

Ozella attended church at Gardner Methodist as well as Faith Methodist in Hot Springs.
She made her life taking care of her family, she loved making sure that Kenneth and Jennifer had everything they needed and also made sure she did a little spoiling on the way. Ozella enjoyed making sure she had beautiful flower gardens each year and loved collecting antiques that she admired. Spending time with her family and friends was always high on her list; last, but certainly not least, spending time with her precious yorkie, “Zoey”. Ozella will be missed by all who knew and loved her.

She is survived by her loving daughter and son-in-law, Jennifer and Steve Henson of Hot Springs; her two brothers and sisters-in-law, Eugene and Sherry McVay and Ted and Lynn McVay, all of Little Rock; her four sisters and brothers-in-law, Irene and Lynn Shamlin, Nancy and Tony Brown, all of Little Rock, Jessie Ashbrook of Hot Springs, and Cherry Illiard of Little Rock; nieces, nephews, extended family members and many good friends.
