Frances May (Kyner) Talburt, 86, of Henderson, Arkansas, passed away on Thursday, November 12, 2026. Frances was born on October 4, 1940, in Gassville, Arkansas to John Wylie and Reble Marie (Fout) Kyner.
Frances was united in marriage to Junior Talburt on August 9th, 1957, in Wheeling, Arkansas. She worked side-by-side with her husband on their dairy farm in the Cumi area for 39 years. Frances was a devoted daughter, wife, mother, homemaker and grandmother who enjoyed gardening and reading in her spare time. Her grandchildren and great-grandchildren were the apple of her eye and gave her great joy. She loved to send cards and letters to friends and family for all occasions, and she never failed to send a handwritten thank you note for gifts and kindnesses that she received from others. She was an excellent cook and loved to prepare meals for her family and the community. She had a generous heart and was involved in numerous community programs in her lifetime such as the local 4H chapter, board member of Custer-Herron and Athens cemeteries and assisted with coordination of the Viola Alumni Homecoming. Most important of all, she loved the Lord and was a faithful member of the church of Christ.
