Driscoll Crumpler, 79, of Bella Vista, Arkansas, formerly of Clayton, NC, passed away peacefully on May 30, 2024.

Dris was born on January 31,1945, in Erwin, North Carolina to DB and Mabel Barbour. She graduated from Erwin High School in 1963. She was a dedicated healthcare worker for Dorothea Dix State Hospital in Raleigh, NC for more than thirty years. Dris was a long-time member of Mount Moriah Baptist Church in Raleigh, North Carolina before moving to Bella Vista in 2013.

Dris loved the beach, enjoying many family vacations at Myrtle Beach. She was an avid bargain hunter, and would spend Saturdays visiting yard sales, or as she used to say, "In the streets!" She loved to decorate for holidays, especially Christmas, and was a passionate penguin collector. Her absolute favorite thing in the world was to be a Neenee to her two grandsons and watch them follow their passions. Neenee was one of their loudest cheerleaders on the ball field, basketball court, and in school.

Dris was preceded in death by her parents, DB and Mabel Barbour of Erwin, NC, and by her sister, Dawn Lucas also of Erwin.

Dris is survived by her beloved husband of 53 years, Ron Crumpler; her son, Chris Crumpler; daughter-in-law, Heather Crumpler; her two grandsons, Luke Crumpler, 20, and Drew Crumpler, 17, all of Bentonville, Arkansas; her brother-in-law, Joe Lucas of Erwin, NC, nephew, Justin Lucas of Southport, NC; nephew, Garrett Lucas of Erwin, NC; and many extended family.

There will be a visitation on Thursday, June 6, 2024, from 6:00-7:30 at the Bella Vista Funeral Home and Crematory, 2258 Forest Hills Blvd, Bella Vista, AR 72715. A funeral and celebration of life will be held at McLauren Funeral Home, 12830 US 70 Business Hwy W, Clayton, NC 27520 on Friday, June 21, 2024.
