of Batesville, AR
October 11, 1935 - June 25, 2021
Our beloved Emily Sue (Anderson) Karg, age 85, was called home to be with our Heavenly Father on June 25, 2021 with her family by her side after a courageously fought illness. Mommie Sue (Susie) was born in Louisville, KY on October 11, 1935 and graduated from Buchtel High School in Akron, Ohio. She was married to her high school sweetheart, Ronald Albert Karg for 64 years.
She will be lovingly remembered by her family and friends; children,
Ronald (Cristi) Karg of North Manchester, IN, Rebecca (Edward)
McConnico of Simsboro, LA, Julie (Tim) Dozier of Batesville, AR,
Dorothy (Michael) Foley of Loveland, CO, and, Jennifer (Rodger) Wilt of Rockett, TX; grandchildren, Brett (Patricia Carvajal) Wilt, Rachel Foley (Dave) Eads, Christopher Foley, Kessie (Nick Clark) Karg, Wendy (Cody Melton) Dozier, Emily McConnico, Jackson (Erin) McConnico, Max Karg, and Natalie (Michael Rawls) Wilt; Great-grandchildren, Bradley,
Wesley, and Benjamin Eads, and Mack Melton; her brother, Leverett
(Ruth) Anderson, Jr., her High School 'BP's' (the Bosom Pals), so many wonderful extended family members and friends; and her loyal sweet companion Border Collie, Maggie Bee. Preceding her in death, were her loving parents Leverett Anderson, Sr. and Dorothy (Anderson) Anderson, and beloved grandson, Ryan Wilt.
Our Mommie Sue was a powerfully loving light and loving force. She was sharp-witted, funny, and gracious in ways that reflected her trust and love of God's plan, a true angel on earth. Sue and Ron have been members of the First Presbyterian Church for over 20 years. She was a devoted wife and mother with a true gift of modeling unconditional love for so many. Sue completed course work at the University of Akron and in addition to raising 5 children, had a life-long career in business administration working with numerous law firms and agencies in Arkansas, Texas, Indiana, Iowa, and Illinois. She retired from the United Way of Independence County, AR in 2015.
Friends and family are invited to attend a Celebration of Life Service
on July 9, 2021 at 4:00 PM at the First Presbyterian Church, Batesville, Arkansas with visitation/reception to follow in the
church's fellowship hall with Pastor Leslie Roper officiating.
In lieu of flowers, donations can be made to the Ryan Wilt Memorial
Gymnasium Building Fund at Rockett Baptist Church

The Family would like to extend sincere heartfelt thanks for the
loving care and expertise provided by the doctors, nurses, and support
staff at Batesville Family Practice, The White River Medical Center,
and Arkansas Hospice of Batesville.
I really miss Sue and think of her often. We may have only seen each other once a year and talked occasionally on the phone, but we always knew the other one was there. Such fond memories of a 75+ years’ friendship.
We are so saddened to hear of Sue's passing, but please know that she will always hold a special place in our hearts. She was a warm, smart, patient, and considerate co-worker, and remained a dear friend after all these years. She was one of the best examples possible of a loving partner and a nurturing mother. We are sorry for your loss, and pray for your courage and strength to carry on, with the knowledge that her love is with you always.
My sympathy and love to Ron and your family. I will miss you, Sue, my friend and BP.
Dear Ron & family,
I've known Sue since Grade School and Ben was your classmate at Buchtel High. We dearly love Sue. She was the best friend anyone could have. She was the epitome of a God fearing lady and human decency all rolled into one. You don't hardly find that kind anymore. Let's hope we'll soon all be jumping on clouds and trying our wings over the rainbow!
Stay in touch, Sara Jo & Ben Au
