Betty Lou Curtis, age 93, passed from this earth peacefully on June 5, 2025 in Little Rock, Arkansas, surrounded by her loving family.
Born on May 2, 1932 in Little Rock, Betty lived a full life rooted in faith, family and compassion. On August 6, 1951 she married the love of her life, Charles ''Dick'' Curtis and together they built a legacy of love and devotion. Betty was a lifelong member of Mabelvale Church of Christ and lived her values every day with quiet strength and unwavering kindness.
She was preceded in death by her beloved husband, Dick Curtis; her parents, Sam and Estelle Singley; her siblings, Sam Singley, Sue Cardwell, Tommy Singley and Bobby Singley; her daughter, Vicky Jones; her son, Terry Curtis and her son-in-law, Larry Edwards.

She leaves behind a legacy through her cherished grandchildren, Mason Hargett (Britany), Callie Fletcher (Adam), Samantha Herbner (Travis), Blake Edwards, Elissa Romines (Brian), Audrey Villegas (Nick) and Rebekah Curtis. She was also blessed with great-grandchildren, Kelsey and Westin Fletcher and Hazel, Winnie and Wilder Romines.
A devoted wife, sister, mother, grandmother and great-grandmother, Betty was the heart of her family. She gave freely of herself and was a tireless caregiver to all who needed her. Her quiet grace and boundless love will be deeply missed.
A memorial service will be held on Saturday, June 21st at 1:00 p.m. at Roller-Alcoa Funeral Home.
The family extends a heartfelt thank you to the staff at The Manor for their extraordinary care and compassion. Your kindness will never be forgotten.

Aunt Betty Lou will be greatly missed, though we will see her again in eternal heave. She was the most loving person I know. From the time I was a young child in the 60s, to my senior years, visiting with her has given me some of my most treasured memories of my life. She always treated our family like her own kids or grandkids. We loved her dearly.

I never saw her but just a handful of times once or twice as an adult. What I remember of Aunt Betty she was always happy and laughing, I also remembered how pretty she was and according to this photo she still is pretty.
Happy at home now.

I will forever be grateful to the Lord for the gift of knowing Mrs. Betty Lou Curtis.
Even though I wasn't kin, I called her Aunt Betty Lou because she ALWAYS treated me as though I were.
I would say she went out of her way to do that, but that was her way.
My prayers go up for the Curtis family.
