Patsy Paulette Bishop, lovingly known as “Mammy” to her grandchildren, passed away peacefully on July 3, 2025, at 4:45 p.m. in Harrison, Arkansas, at the age of 82.

Born August 7, 1942, to James and Pearl Daniels, Paulette was raised in Arkansas and spent most of her adult life in Jonesboro. In her later years, she lived in Harrison with her daughter. Paulette was preceded in death by her beloved husband, Larry Bishop; her son, Glenn Curtwright; her granddaughter Lori Ann Bishop; her parents; and her siblings Edith Fulton, Elven Fulton, and Jim Daniels.

She is survived by her children: Mike Curtwright, Dan Curtwright (both of Jonesboro, AR), Angie Reidhead and husband Duke (Kanab, UT), Susie Wallace and husband Shane (Harrison, AR), and stepson Rob Bishop and wife Patsy (Jonesboro, AR). She also leaves behind 14 beloved grandchildren and 24 great-grandchildren, as well as her brothers Bud Daniels and Larry Daniels.

Paulette found joy in the simple things, hummingbirds at the window, a crochet hook in hand, a sweet treat to share. But her greatest joy came from being with her family, especially her grandchildren. Her warmth and laughter filled the room. She was one of a kind, with a heart big enough to hold generations. She was deeply treasured by everyone who knew her and will be forever missed.

A viewing will be held at Emerson Memorial Chapel in Jonesboro on Friday, July 11, from 9:30 to 10:30 a.m., followed by a funeral service at 10:30. Graveside services will follow at Pine log Cemetery in Brookland.
