ARKANSAS-January 20, 2026… Congressman Steve Womack (AR-3) issued the statement below regarding the passing of his wife, Terri Lynn Williams Womack.

Congressman Womack said, "Sunday afternoon, Heaven welcomed an angel. My wife of 41 years, Terri Womack, went to live in eternity with Jesus. My heart is broken and that space remains without her presence. I take comfort in knowing she is no longer suffering in pain and is at peace evermore. Her legacy of love will live in the hearts of all who knew her. Our family appreciates the outpouring of prayers and support. You have all honored her in such a special way, and we are eternally grateful."

Terri Lynn Williams Womack, 68, of Rogers passed away Sunday at Circle of Life Hospice in Bentonville, Arkansas, following a brief illness.

She was born on November 2, 1957, in DeWitt, Arkansas, to HD and Deanie Williams. She graduated from DeWitt High School in 1976. She attended the University of Arkansas. She married Steve Womack on August 4, 1984, and just completed over 41 years of marriage.

She spent more than 35 years working for various courts. She was Chief Clerk to Rogers Municipal Judge Tom Keith. Following Judge Keith's election as Circuit Judge, she became his Case Coordinator. She later worked for Benton County Prosecutor David Clinger, before returning to the Circuit Court under Judge Keith and Judge Robin Green. She retired from public service in 2019.

An avid landscaper, Terri was also an excellent cook and loved testing new recipes on her family. She also adored her pets, including miniature schnauzers Auggie and Cooper.

But most important to her were her children and grandchildren. With all boys, she was confined to learning and participating in the rough and tumble activities of those kids.

Terri was preceded in death by her parents and sister Lynda. She is survived by her husband, of the home. Also surviving are her children: William Owens, 42, of Rogers; Bradley Womack, 40, of Rogers; and Phillip Womack, 38, of Rogers.
