February 29, 2020

Larry Gene Renfroe, age 70, of Pottsville, died Saturday, February 29, 2020, at home.  He was born on June 16, 1949, in Russellville to Eugene Garrison and Ethel Renfroe.  His grandparents, Fines and Ada Standridge Renfroe helped raise him.
In addition to his grandparents and parents, he was preceded in death by an uncle, Walter Renfroe; and his step-father, George Wheatley.  
Survivors include his wife of 49 years, Betty Powell Renfroe; two daughters and sons-in-law, Laura Christensen (Eric) and Erin Jones (Greg); three brothers, Gary Renfroe, Douglas Wheatley, and Roger Garrison; two sisters, Evelyn Garrison and Cynthia Nelson; six grandchildren, Astrid, Ingrid, Sigrid, Clayton, Greta and Ada; and two aunts, Pearl Grigsby and Helen Renfroe.
All services are private with arrangements by Shinn Funeral Service of Russellville.
Memorials may be made to the charity of the donor’s choice.
Pop always put his family first.  He drew his last breath on February 29 so we would only have to live the anniversary every four years.
