Walter “Roger” Phelps, age 80, of Crittenden County, passed away on Friday, August 8, 2025, at his home.

Roger was born on January 11, 1945, in Union County to the late Walter Richard and Atlanta Fox Phelps. For 39 years, Roger was a staple in the meat department at Food Giant. After his retirement, Roger stepped into a new role, driving for and delivering ice for his Amish neighbors. A role that earned him the nickname, “The Ice Man”. Roger enjoyed and was a skilled woodworker, making family and friends beautiful and useful pieces that they will forever hold onto. Roger loved his family dearly and cherished each moment with them. He attended Emmaus Baptist Church.

Survivors include his wife of 62 years, Charlotte Garrett Phelps; daughters, Lisa (Allen) Mayes and Jessica Cornwell; son, Rodney (Robin) Phelps; seven grandchildren, Stephanie (Josh) Stone, Travis (Kim) Mayes, Melissa (Jason) Waid, Korey (Ericka) Mayes, Teri (Craig) Hamilton, Lindsay Phelps and Morgan Phelps; twelve great-grandchildren, Addison, Aleric, Sophie, Deacon, Kai, Daxton, Mia, Toby, Emily, Abby, Lily and Penelope.

Visitation for Roger Phelps will be held on Monday, August 11, 2025, from 10:00 AM to 2:00 PM at Gilbert Funeral Home in Marion.

Funeral services will follow at 2:00 PM on Monday, August 11, 2025, at Gilbert Funeral Home with Bro. Gary Murray officiating. Burial will follow in Mt. Zion Cemetery.

Trust in the LORD with all thine heart; and lean not unto thine own understanding. In all thy ways acknowledge him, and he shall direct thy paths.
