Jonesboro - Paul S. Osborn, 88, passed away peacefully in his sleep on January 12, 2022.

He was born on October 30, 1933 in Jonesboro and lived his entire life there. He graduated from Arkansas State University and then became an officer in the Army Reserve. After his service, Paul went on to earn his CPA certification.  With his brother Jim, he founded the Osborn and Osborn Accounting Firm where they worked for over sixty years.  The company and employees were like family to Paul.  Paul loved the Lord and was a faithful lifetime parishioner at Blessed Sacrament Catholic Church. He was united in holy matrimony with the love of his life, Zelda Gail Province and they were married for fifty-nine years. Together, they raised five children in a warm and caring home.

His favorite pastime was fishing at Lake Norfork with his family and friends.  But his greatest joy in life was his family and he was at his happiest when they gathered together for their many celebrations of life.

Paul was preceded in death by his parents, Perry Osborn & Laura Hopkins Moore; his loving wife, Gail and his brother, Jim.

He is survived by two sons, Steve Osborn and wife Cindy of Little Rock and Scott Osborn and wife Mary Beth of Austin, TX; three daughters, Susan Osborn of Delray Beach, FL, Sandra Steele of Jonesboro and Stacy McDonald and husband Doyle of Austin, TX; his brothers, George Osborn and wife Janice and Perry Osborn and wife Judy all of Jonesboro; fifteen grandchildren and sixteen great-grandchildren and several nieces, nephews and other family and friends.
