Christena (Lewis) Heard, 80, passed away peacefully on July 19, 2020 in Stigler at her home due to congestive heart failure. She was born Feb. 24, 1940 in Fort Smith, Ark. to Clyde and Nellie (Darneal) Lewis. She married William Powell Heard in March of 1959. Bill preceded her in death in 2015.

Christena was gifted with an eye for design, antiques and art. She ran her own successful antique store in Mena, Ark. with her mother for eight years. It was routine for people to seek her opinion on a wide variety of home design and decorating matters. Christena was always the life of the party and her zest for life was infectious. She was a strong, fierce and independent woman who loved life and this shined through her vivacious personality. Her main job was wife and mother. She took great pride in her family and home. 

Christena is survived by her daughter, Vonda and her son, Tony.

Burial will be private.
