Margaret Ann Pinner's Obituary
Margaret Ann (Anderson) Pinner, age 80, passed away on Thursday, January 15, 2026, at her home in Bentonville, Arkansas, surrounded by her family. Margaret was born on September 30, 1945, to Louis Grover and Lillian Mae (Bolain) Anderson. She was preceded in death by her parents, step-father, Doil Conrad Murphree, stepbrother, Doil Murphree and step-sisters, Joy LaRue Sumner and Shirley Johnston-White.
Margaret was born and grew up in Bentonville, Arkansas, where she was part of the Bentonville High School Class of 1963. After graduating, Margaret married the love of her life, Doyle Pinner, in March of 1964 and made their home in Bentonville where they raised their family.
Over the years Margaret worked at Walton’s 5 and Dime and Bear Brands Hosiery before becoming a homemaker and raising and assisting her children in their various activities. Later as her family aged, she went back to work at Wal-Mart Warehouse #8 where she worked in the Marking Room for 15 years before retiring.
Margaret was also an active member throughout her life at the Bentonville Church of Christ where she started the Cradle Roll program. For 40+ years, Margaret loved and taught the babies at the Bentonville Church how to love their Bibles, who made them, and helped start them on their journey of faith. Margaret also ministered to those who were sick and grieving by showing her love and care by providing a meal to those who needed it.
Margaret is survived by her devoted husband, Doyle of 61 years, who provided her with such loving care during her last several years. Her children, Dawn (Tim) Reddell of Bentonville, Arkansas and Darren (Robin) Pinner of Highfill, Arkansas; grandchildren, Ryan (Anna Rachel) Reddell of Cabot, Arkansas and Ryleigh Reddell of Bentonville, Arkansas; step-grandchildren, Kendall (Esther) Varner and Matt (Kate) Varner; great-granddaughter, Sophie Reddell; and 5 step-grandchildren.
