 Roger D. Curry 8 February 1948 - 11 March 2014 Sarah L. Curry 21 April 1942 - July 2020    Sarah
Lou Curry was born on April 21, 1942 in Traskwood Arkansas to Ruth and
Arlin Landreth. Sarah was raised in a large family with eight brothers
and four sisters.
Mom was a caring and loving woman. She helped many people when she could. She loved flower’s and she tried to plant enough flowers to make the whole world a better place. She had so many flower beds in the yard to mow around that it would take 2 day’s just to get the yard mowed. Mom absolutely loved to go fishing anytime, anywhere with anyone that would go with her. It was proven throughout the years that she could out fish Dad, but he didn't care, that was their time together away from the rest of the world and they went as often as possible. It also gave mom a good excuse to have a family fish fry and bring all the family together. She was the mother of 3 and stepmother to 2. She loved to have family parties. She was known for her dinner rolls. This was her way of getting people to arrive early so they could be there for that first batch of hot roll’s to be pulled from the oven. Of course there was a hefty bowl of butter just waiting on the sidelines to be slathered on them. They were definitely worth arriving early to be the first in line to get one. I was almost 50 years old before she shared her secret recipe with me. Her secret recipe was, get in the car, drive to the grocery store and go to the freezer section! She pulled one on us! Mom loved going for rides in the car. No place special to go just riding around looking at the countryside. Of course, there always seemed to magically be a garage sale or 2 jump in the way and cause us to have to detour and slow us down. We weren’t looking for them or anything like that, they just seemed to appear out of nowhere. Ah, but one of her favorite things to do was to make the ride across the river to the casino’s. She loved the awesome music those machines would make. She also loved the idea of getting a free soda, it was, after all the perfect excuse to stay longer. Who doesn’t like free soda. She always brought back more money than she took with her and she would share it with her friends. Since she was the winner she would buy the hamburgers on the way home. Mom always made a really big deal at Christmas time for everyone. She spoiled her kids along with her grandchildren and great-grandchildren. The house was always decorated and shiny bright. Early December was also the start of the candy factory that was set up in the kitchen. Candy, candy….Sooooo much candy. She had one bedroom at the back of the house that was fully devoted to storing all those luscious treats. Candy, cookies, fudge, and numerous other sweet treats. She made enough sweets for everyone to have more than they could eat or take home. What treats were left over after our Christmas party she would take in to town to the bank, Funeral Home, fire station, nursing home or any willing soul that happened to glance her way. Mom also sold tons of vegetables out of her garden to make a little extra money and she also made a lot of extra friend’s this way. Mom never turned anyone away that needed a little help. She was very helpful with the neighbors and would assist them any time they needed it . That’s Mom in a nutshell. Of course we all have our own individually memories’ that we keep private to ourselves and await the day we get to share them with her again in Heaven.
