Jessica Ann Cree Keeton

It is with deep sorrow and immense love that we announce the passing of Jessica Ann Cree Keeton, who left this world far too soon at the age of 43, on June 10th, 2025. Born on July 29th, 1981 in Morrilton, Arkansas, Jessica lived a life overflowing with laughter, compassion, and unwavering devotion to her family and friends. Jessica was a daughter, a wife, a mother, a Gigi, a sister, and a friend to many. She had a rare gift of humor, able to make anyone laugh, even in the toughest moments and a heart so big that she constantly put the needs of others before her own. Her joy was found in caring for those she loved, and she did it with grace, warmth, and unmatched selflessness. Even in death, Jessica gave the most profound gift of all: the gift of life. As an organ donor, she saved and improved the lives of others, continuing her legacy of compassion and generosity. Her family hopes that Jessica’s story inspires others to consider organ donation, a powerful and lasting act of selflessness. Jessica was preceded in death by her son, William David Keeton and is survived by her parents, Judy and Dave Cree; her loving husband, Scott Keeton; her children, Westin and Wyleigh Keeton; her daughter-in-law, Abby Murphy, and son-in-law, Julian Brockman; her sister, Danielle Cree Reel; her granddaughter, Jodeci Brockman; and numerous nieces, nephews, aunts, uncles, and friends who will carry her memory in their hearts forever. We believe that God called Jessica home with a greater purpose in mind to continue her giving spirit in a way only He could design. In His perfect timing, He chose her to be a vessel of hope and healing, using her final act of love to save the lives of others through organ donation. Even in her passing, Jessica answered God’s call with the same selflessness and grace that defined her life. Though our world is dimmer without her, Jessica’s light lives on in every laugh she sparked, every life she touched, and every life she saved. In lieu of flowers, the family kindly requests that donations be made to Sacred Heart Church or to the Arkansas Donor Family Council, P.O. Box 464, Farmington, Arkansas 72730. Funeral Mass will be 10:00 a.m. Tuesday, June 17, at Sacred Heart Catholic Church with Fr. Kiran Kishore Ingilela officiating. Burial will be at Sacred Heart Cemetery. Rosary will be 6:00 p.m. Monday, at the funeral home with visitation following until 8:00 p.m. Pallbearers will be Jessie Keeton, Kase Reel, Jody Kelly, Bobby Keeton, Matt Keeton, and Phillip Thomas. Honorary pallbearers will be the Morrilton Fire Department, Class of 1999, and CCRWDD family.
