Graciela Rico, age 67

Graciela Rico, age 67, went home to be with The LORD Thursday night September 7, 2023 surrounded by loved ones in her home at Hickory Plains, AR. She was born in Chihuahua, Mexico on March 15, 1956.

She is survived by Perry Wilson; and their five children, Jonathan Wilson and his wife Keren, Leslie Speight and her husband Cody, Nathan Wilson, Ethan Wilson and his fiancé Idalis, and Lensie Wilson; grandchildren, Gracia Wilson, Liam Speight, Cohen Speight, Avah Speight, Elon Speight, and Enzo Wilson.

Graciela was a loving grandmother, mother, sister, daughter, and friend. She went to school in Mexico and graduated from the Instituto Biblico La Nueva Esperanza in Monterrey, Mexico. She exemplified a life laid down for JESUS in her every day. She served and loved others; the complete strangers, the least of these. She did all things as unto The LORD. She always had something funny to say and never met a stranger. She was one of the strongest, sweetest, funniest, most giving, most serving, most forgiving, full of joy, laid back-worry-free and loving souls. She shared the Gospel in many places, but she better expressed it by the way she loved and cared for others. She was such a present help to so many people. She will be missed by all whose lives she touched.

A family-hosted memorial service will be held at The Church at Burns Park on Saturday, September 16, 2023 at 2:00 pm located at 295 W Military Dr, North Little Rock, AR 72118.
