Lynn Emerson
August 2, 1937 — March 10, 2018
(Sara) Lynn Curlin Emerson peacefully passed away in Little Rock, AR on March 10, 2018 surrounded by her family. She was born on August 2, 1937 in Pine Bluff, Arkansas to George E. Curlin, Sr. and Lucille Butler Curlin. She is survived by her three siblings, Sandra Lee Simpson of Sheridan, AR, George E. Curlin, Jr. of Pine Bluff, AR and Steven B. Curlin of Corinth, TX.
Lynn graduated from Pine Bluff High School in 1955 and then attended nursing school at Charity Hospital in New Orleans. She worked in hospitals in Pine Bluff and Pensacola, FL before retiring and starting a business, Quaint N Clever in Jackson, MS with her longtime friend, Donna Gangawere.
Lynn was preceded in death by her parents and by her husband, Bill F. Emerson. She leaves behind her daughters Susan Mahedy and partner Andy Howard of Sarasota, FL; Cynthia Mader of Loveland, CO; Karen Mercado and husband Eli of Dallas, TX; and Laura Valdez of Pensacola, FL. She is also survived by stepchildren Bill Emerson, Jr. and his wife Arlene, David Emerson and Patricia Emerson. Lynn had ten grandchildren and four great-grandchildren.
Lynn enjoyed a rich and varied life with a collection of wonderful friends along the way. She was a terrific Mother to both her children and to her many beloved pets over the years. She was an amazingly strong woman who had a big laugh that would fill a room. We’ll miss that laugh very much.
There will be a small private family celebration of Lynn’s life. If you wish to honor Lynn, in lieu of flowers, we ask that you instead make a donation in her name to your local SPCA or to the Center for BrainHealth at University of Texas at Dallas.
