JOHNNIE SUE EDMONDSON
Johnnie Sue Edmondson, 38, of Jacksonville, earned her wings early Jan. 9. After years of pain and suffering, she will hurt no more.
Johnnie Sue gave true meaning to the words “determination” and “will” – exceeding every life expectation given her. She will truly be missed by those whose life she had touched along the way. She was preceded in death by her father, Johnny Edmondson, her grandfathers, Tilmon Edmondson and Leon Sullivan.
She is survived by her mother, and step-father, Gwen and Mike Turpin of Jacksonville, her brother and sister-in-law, Greg and Staci Edmondson of Cabot, her maternal grandmother, Ruby Sullivan, her paternal grandmother, Louise Edmondson, two nieces, Sydne Squires and Mackie Edmondson, and one nephew, Drew Squires.
The family would like to express its gratitude to the staff at Arkadelphia Human Development Center for their years of love, concern and care.
They would also like to thank all the special nurses and CNA’S at Arkansas Hospice. They are all truly special people — Adrian, Cindy and Casey, and extra thanks to Nurse Cheryl Fite who gave special loving care.
There will be a graveside service held at 2 p.m. today at Chapel Hill Memorial Park in Jacksonville with her uncle, Dr. Ted Edmond-son officiating.
In lieu of flowers, we ask that you please donate to Arkansas Hospice so that others may continue to receive the wonderful care our family witnessed first hand.
