of Conway, AR

May 16, 1945 - December 25, 2025

Arthur Francis Burns, age 80, resident of Conway, AR, passed away on December 25, 2025. Born May 16, 1945 in Providence, RI, he was the son of Leo and Frances Burns. Brother of Leo, Harry, Barbara, Robert, and Doris. He was preceded in death by the love of his life and wife of 56 years, Patricia Bonner Burns, who passed away November 18, 2023. They spent their married life together in Florida, with Arthur recently relocating to Arkansas to live with his daughter. He enjoyed model trains, woodworking, garage sales and antiquing, gardening, and cooking. He especially loved baking Christmas cookies every year with his wife, to share with family and friends.

Arthur is survived by his daughter, Melissa and grandson, Joshua.

Life should NOT be a journey to the grave with the intention of arriving safely in an attractive and well-preserved body, but rather to skid in sideways, body thoroughly used up, totally worn out, and screaming "WOO HOO, WHAT A RIDE!"
