Virginia (Sue) Curtis Johnson

Virginia Sue Curtis Johnson, a Green Forest resident, was born April 26, 1937 in Green Forest, a daughter of Bennie and Virginia (Davis)Curtis. She departed this life Tuesday March 1, 2016 in Springfield, Missouri at the age of 78. She is survived by three brothers, Richard, Billy, and Jimmy Curtis of Northwest, Arkansas; and two sisters, Roberta Pinkley of Blue Eye, Missouri and Peggy Roper of Bella Vista.

She was preceded in death by her son Bennie Johnson, her parents; and four sisters, Alice Graham, Winifred Jenkins, Bobbie Johns, and Patty Conrad. Sue attended School of the Ozark, and worked for the State of Arkansas in the health department, then spent several years as a home health care giver. Her passions were garage sales, thrift shops, cooking, embroidery, high heels, starched clothes, and watching Hog's play basketball, but above all this she loved and cared for her family deeply. She enjoyed her vacations with her sisters, visiting their brother in California and our annual Curtis family reunions. Graveside services will be held at York Cemetery in Bergman, Arkansas on March 12, 2016 at 2:00PM. In lieu of flowers, the family asks that donations be made to St. Vincent De Paul Society of Carroll County, 1844 Highway 62 W Berryville, AR 72616, http://www.stvincentup.org.
