Gilbert William "Bud" Wienert, 91 of Harrison, Arkansas, passed away at home on Friday, October 25, 2019, with his family by his side.

The son of Walter Otto and Erna Elizabeth (Wesche) Wienert was born at Chicago, Illinois on March 30, 1928. He was a member of Union Baptist Church since 1979.

Bud moved to Arkansas with his family in July 1944. He would later be drafted in the US Army and serve during the Korean Conflict. After being honorably discharged from the Army, he took over the family dairy farm. He met his wife Marlene in the late 50s and they were married May 25, 1961. He worked as a dairy farmer until 1987 then he worked at Sutton Wood Products until he retired. Bud was a hard worker, and he was always tinkering and fixing things. He was a content man, satisfied with what he had and things didn't have to be perfect. If it could be fixed, he loved to try. He loved fishing and enjoyed watching golf on TV. He was born to be a Grandpa and loved spending time with his grandchildren. He left his family with a multitude of stories and memories to cherish.
