Eva Dianne "Aunt Bo" Blackman

Graveside Service for Eva Dianne "Aunt Bo" Blackman, 77, of Muldrow, Oklahoma will be at 2:00 PM on Thursday, April 4, 2024 at Maple Cemetery in Muldrow, Oklahoma under the direction of Agent Mallory Martin Funeral Service, Inc.

She was born on December 25, 1946 in Fort Smith, Arkansas to Ida Bell (Norwood) England and Everette England and passed this life on April 1, 2024 in Fort Smith, Arkansas after a very long and courageous 24-year fight of cancer. She was married to Lee Harold Blackman on January 19, 1967 in Fort Smith, Arkansas. He preceded her in death on August 1, 2013. She was of the Baptist faith and a true soldier of the Lord. She loved being outside in the sunshine working in her yard and mowing "that imaginary grass" every day. She always had the best summer-tanned legs with white flip-flop marks on her tiny feet, riding her little bubble mower waving at all her neighbors. She was a blessing to anyone who knew her, and if you knew her very long, you knew her as "Aunt Bo."

Survivors are one sister, LouAnn Nugyen and Thuy of Van Buren, AR; three sisters-in-law, Judy Shockley of Barling, AR, Shirley Vaughn of Van Buren, AR and Margaret England of Fort Smith, AR; nieces and nephews, Kenny and Marty Ferrari of Sallisaw, OK, Tammy and Chris Sugg of Muldrow, OK, Vicki Strozier of Muldrow, OK, Tanya Porter of Muldrow, OK, Tracy England of Fort Smith, AR and Angie and Billy Myers of Van Buren, AR; great nieces and nephews, Ericca J. Keith, Kelsey and Drew NoHe, Randy and Jessica Gipson, Bradley and Chey Gipson, Breanna Strozier, Clayton Mayo, Brittney and Summer Porter, Zack and Debra Myers, Joel Myers, Josh Flowers, Holly Flowers, Cassie and Mark Thompson and Gene Vanzandt; her best friend, Rose Williamson; and her favorite little cook, (GG niece) Taylnn Dianne Williams.

She was preceded in death by her husband, Lee Blackman; parents, Everette and Ida England; two brothers, John England and Dayton England; and one sister, Yvonne (Sissy) Vanzandt.
