Sarah A. Hart

On August 6, 1964, in a small shotgun house on Cook Street, Milton Williams and Freddie Jean Lowery welcomed their beautiful baby girl, Sarah Antoniette Williams—affectionately known as “Net.”

From the very beginning, Net faced health challenges, but she never allowed her illness to define her or dim her spirit. No matter where she went, she carried her signature essentials—her inhaler, nebulizer, glue, eyelashes, phone, and a wig—but most importantly, she carried a radiant smile that could light up any room.

Net was the second oldest of four siblings and undoubtedly the friendliest. She was outgoing, caring, and deeply compassionate. Known as the family comedian and storyteller, she brought laughter wherever she went. She was the “turn-up queen,” a dancing machine, and someone who truly embraced and celebrated life. Above all, she loved her family fiercely.

For over 34 years, Net dedicated her life to caring for others as a Certified Nursing Assistant. She worked faithfully in the medical field until her health no longer allowed her to continue.

On March 25, 2026, God softly whispered her name, saying, “Peace, be still,” and she peacefully transitioned from Timberlane Health & Rehab to her eternal home.

She was preceded in death by her father, Milton Williams; her brother, Keith Jones Sr.; her brother-in-law, Dexter Jackson; and her special love, Larryl “Shug” Gatewood.

She leaves behind a legacy of love and cherished memories with her estranged husband, Robert “JJ” Hart of El Dorado, AR; her loving mother, Freddie J. McDaniel of El Dorado, AR; Step mother Sheila Beard of El Dorado, AR., and her two devoted daughters, LaTara Rodgers (Arvin Alexander) of Grand Prairie, TX, and Jazzilyn Curley (Chris Hughes) of Irving, TX.

She is also survived by her eight sisters: Lequita Jackson of Houston, TX; Dana George of El Dorado, AR; Shelia Lovett of Little Rock, AR; Constance, Beverly, and Diana Williams of California; and Ramona Morehead and Angela Robertson of San Marcos, TX; and four brothers: Maurio Cole of Maryland; Kemo Caver of Arkansas; Steve Williams of Texarkana; and Corey Jones.

Net was a proud grandmother to five grandchildren: Tytiana Kesee, Ardaeja Shianae, Arvin James Alexander, and King Bennie Alexander, all of Grand Prairie, TX, and Joshuah Curley of El Dorado, AR.

She was also blessed with seven great-grandchildren: Olivia Kesee; Braxton, Kayce, and Avery Robertson; Jericho Allen; Celia “Sarah” Kaplan, all of Grand Prairie, TX; and Layla Curley of El Dorado, AR.

She leaves behind two loving aunts, Ollie Faye Finney of El Dorado, AR, and Georgia Alexander of Camden, AR; bonus brothers, Charles George and Anthony Braggs of El Dorado, AR; bonus children, Justin, Chloe, Shyrayle, Sharneecia, Miranda, and Zay Gatewood of El Dorado, AR; and her best friend, Onie Mae Wilson of El Dorado, AR.

Net’s life was a testament to resilience, joy, and unconditional love. Though she may be gone from our sight, her laughter, strength, and vibrant spirit will live on in the hearts of all who knew and loved her.
