Rachel
February 16, 1931 - April 19, 2021
Rachel Curtis, age 90, of Dover, was lifted up to her Heavenly Home on Monday, April 19, 2021 at Dardanelle Regional Medical Center. She was born on February 16, 1931, in Pelsor, to Elmer and Myrtle Gregory.
Rachel truly loved her Lord and Savior, her church family, and had a special love and respect for the women in her Tuesday bible class. Her appetite for God's word was never satisfied and her desire to live those words was unwavering.
Without any doubt, Rachel's greatest joy and pride was being a mother, a mother who passed on her love of God, her love of gardening, the importance of giving, the value of love and kindness and so much more to her daughter, Sandra.
She was preceded in death by her parents; her husband of 68 years, Troy Hugh Curtis; daughter, Sandra Louise Boatright; sister, Janice Warren; and brother, Grady Gregory.
She is survived by two sisters, Genice (Bill) Burkhart and Donna Ann (Walter) Taylor; son-in-law, Alan Boatright; along with many other family members and friends.

The family would like to thank the doctors and staff at Dardanelle Regional Medical Center and Kindred Hospice for going above and beyond in the care of Mrs. Curtis. Their loving kindness will never be forgotten.
