Edward LaMar

Ed LaMar, 79, of Dover, Arkansas, passed away Saturday, September 19, 2026, at Baptist Medical Center in Conway.

The son of Charles and Dorothy Garrett LaMar, Ed was born January 15, 1947, in Hammond, Indiana. On August 26, 1972, he married Eunice, beginning a marriage that would span more than 54 years.

Ed worked as a machine operator with POM, but the roles he treasured most were those of husband, father, and grandfather. A devoted family man, he found his greatest happiness in the people he loved and the time they shared together.

He had a lifelong curiosity and appreciation for the world around him. Ed enjoyed hiking, reading about American history, and watching sports. Whether enjoying the outdoors, learning something new from the pages of a history book, or simply spending time with his family, Ed appreciated the simple pleasures of life.

He was preceded in death by his parents; his grandson, Gregory LaMar; and two sisters, Nancy Haltom and Diane Caple.

Ed is survived by his wife, Eunice LaMar of Dover; two sons, Terry LaMar and Randy LaMar, both of Dover; his grandson, Carson LaMar of Dover; a brother, Charles LaMar and wife Sondra of Fort Smith; a sister, Pat Stakland and husband Steve of Utah; his sister-in-law, Ann Hogrefe of Dover; and numerous nieces and nephews.
