Rita Gail Haworth, age 57, of Texarkana, Arkansas, died Thursday, August 10, 2023, in a local hospital surrounded by her family.
Mrs. Haworth was born on September 3, 1965, in Texarkana, Arkansas, and was a lifetime resident of Texarkana. She was formerly employed as Departmental Manager at Walmart on Arkansas Blvd. and a member of Macedonia Baptist Church in Doddridge, Arkansas. She was a fun-loving, caring, kind, and selfless person. Anywhere there was water Rita would drop a hook and wait for the fish to bite.
