May 19, 1932 - September 30, 2011
Climie Casey Curtis, 79, of Damascus went to be with Jesus after a six year battle with Alzheimer's disease. She was born May 19, 1932 in Enola, Arkansas to the late Rufus and Bessie Phillips Casey. So happily reunited with her childhood sweetheart she lived a full life of love and laughter. Climie loved to brag about her large family which consisted of thirteen brothers and sisters. Climie was a compassionate and loving wife, mother, daughter, sister, aunt, and friend. Her smile and her laughter were highly contagious. She retired from AT&T Teletype after 28 years of service.
She is preceded in death by her parents, three brothers; Quention Casey, Elwood Casey and Norwood Casey. Two sisters; Ruby Kliemchen and Ollie Merle Casey.

Three brothers, Faber Casey of Salem, Arkansas; Russell Casey of La Porte, Indiana and Randell Casey of Vilonia. One granddaughter, Ashton. She is also survived by many nephews, nieces, and cousins who will also greatly miss her and her great joy.
Visitation will be at Roller-McNutt Funeral Home in Conway (501)327-7727, from 6 to 8 p.m. on Monday, October 3. The graveside service will be at Mayflower Cemetery at 11:00 a.m. on Tuesday, October 4.
Climie was my set-up when I first started working at the plant (it was Teletype then) in the early 70's, and I fell in love with her from the very beginning. She was a kind and wonderful person, always had a smile and a laugh, a great sense of humor, and was a true pleasure as a co-worker and set-up/supervisor. I will always remember these sweet things about her. My thoughts and prayers are with the family.
So sorry to hear about Climie. She was really a sweet lady. I know the family will miss her. It was a blessing to have been able to work with her for so many years. She will be missed.

Randall and all of the family. Our thoughts and prayers
are with you during this sad time. Johnny Mc worked with you and your sister and other family members at
A T& T. Those were good times.
David/Novice,
Although I can't be at the serivce, my thoughts will be with both of you and Aunt Climie. I have so many fond memories of her and visiting your house and you guys visiting ours. Her love of life and her laughter were indeed infectious. My favorite story of her is when was out in CA with Novice. She told me a lady in their complex had given her some old records. I asked if they were 78's and she said no, they were a lot older than that!
David my prayers are with you and your family,she can rest peacefully now in the arms of God.
We offer our deepest sympathies. Our heart goes out to all our Arkansas kinfolk, particularly Novis and David. Our thoughts and prayers are with all of you.
To all the Children of the Casey family, and David ;her child and her husband. I grew up with all you kids, and I will proudly say that I loved each one as if you were my kin, and we just about were. My heart goes out to you and with you, I hurt too. But I also am praying that God will send his peace that passeth all understanding and comfort each one of you in this sad time. When words become meaningless please know, you are in my prayers and ever so close to my heart. Love to all
My heart is with you, David. It is very hard to lose a parent. I have always enjoyed being around my Mom's brothers and sisters. I liked looking at everyone and seeing who favored each other. God bless you and Novis for taking care of Aunt Climie. My thoughts and prayers are with you.
Your cousin, Evonne
I am so happy that Climie and my dad had so many wonderful years together. It was wonderful to know her and as it was said her laughter and smile was contagious. I dont believe I ever saw her without a smile on her face and laughter from her heart. My prayers and symphathies are with all of her loving family at this time, and especially my heart goes out to my Father.
Novis & David my heart goes out to you both. I know how you're hurting and I also know the joy you're feeling for her being healthy and without pain. I'll miss her sweet smile when she would come to our office to visit her "baby boy". God bless you both and all of the family.

Please accept my sincere condolences for your loss. May you find comfort in your loving memories of Mrs. Curtis, and in knowing that God is "near to those that are broken at heart; and those who are crushed in spirit he saves." (Psalm 34;18) Our loving Creator has promised to soon "swallow up death forever...and wipe the tears from all faces." (Isaiah 25;8) With deepest sympathy,
David,
I am so sorry about your Mother.
You are in my thoughts and prayers.
