Patty Sue Turner, 89, of Spring Hill, Arkansas, passed away on August 8th,
2025 in Texarkana,TX surrounded by her family.
Patty Sue was born on August 13, 1935 in Spring Hill to Roy and Mary
Collins. She was a member of Bethany Baptist Church. After 35 years, she
retired from Greening Ellis Insurance Company in Hope to work with her
husband on the family farm.
Patty Sue enjoyed mornings with coffee on the porch and checking cows in
the gator with her high school sweetheart and husband of 72 years, Lloyd.
She played basketball as a Lady Bear and continued to enjoy going to
sporting events to watch her children, grands and great grands. She will be
remembered by her family for her daily prayers where she called each of
her loved ones by name. Her special ministry was feeding others during
both happy and difficult times, where her specialty was chocolate pies and
dumplings. Her grands loved her company out in her front yard with her
special handmade coke floats.
Her most treasured moments in life was hearing about one of her family
members accepting Christ as their savior. Patty was a woman of
unwavering faith, whose love of the Lord shone through every aspect of life.
She found solace in prayer, strength in scripture, and peace in promises of
eternal life. She shared her faith through kindness, compassion, and an
unyielding trust in God’s plan.
