Mrs. Joella Marie (Rogers) Fudge of Newark, Arkansas, departed this life on Tuesday, January 26, 2021. She was born May 2, 1941 in Newark, the daughter of Laman C. and Eloise (Crutchfield) Rogers.
Mrs. Fudge was a graduate of Newark High School, where she participated in several beauty pageant competitions. On August 29, 1959, Miss Joella Rogers married Mr. Bobby Fudge, and together they spent 60 years.

Along with her sons, she played in the Hard Times Folk Band.
Mrs. Fudge was an artist, who enjoyed traveling, gardening (especially roses), and raising her dogs and cats. She loved live concerts, seeing several bands over the years.
Mrs. Fudge was preceded in death by her husband, Bobby Fudge; and her parents.
She is survived by two sons, Adam Fudge and wife, Rebecca of Sulphur Rock, and Shane Fudge and wife, Christy of Searcy; one sister, Judy Babb and husband, Johnny, of Batesville; two grandchildren, Halley Evan Fudge of Newark and Matthew Shane Fudge, II of Searcy; many nieces and nephews; and a lifetime of friends.
