November 6, 1941 - November 17, 2021

Patsy Ruth Johnson, age 80, of Flippin, Arkansas passed away Wednesday November 17, 2021 at her home.

Patsy Johnson's life was Active, with a capital A! She loved being on the go with activities like golf, pickleball, mahjong, bowling, and planning activities with family and friends. She loved to cook dinners for those she loved and was always looking to find ways to help those in need.
She volunteered her time throughout her life with groups such as Flippin Christian Church, Flippin Pride Team, Hospice, Salvation Army, American Cancer Society, Relay for Life, Red Hat Ladies, her beloved widow's group, and Flippin Cemetery Board.

She was born November 6, 1941, to Frank and Ruth Carrico. She was the second of what would become four sisters. Her life was spent with her parents and her sisters, Frances, Linda, and Sharlyn. She enjoyed a close, happy childhood. She loved life in Arkansas, but also loved to travel throughout the world. She found great joy when she was able to experience places that she had only seen on television or read about in books.

Patsy married her childhood sweetheart, and the love of her life, Hal Johnson, on June 14, 1959. There were a wonderful team and enjoyed golf, sports, and just being together. Their long marriage was an inspiration to their family and others.

She and Hal had three children, Jan, Mark, Jennifer. They had five grandchildren, Matthew, Erin, Taylor, Hallie, and Adam and four great grands, Marley, Abe, Grant and Blake. They devoted their life to raising their family and instilled a love of God and caring for others, as primary focus of life.

Patsy was an encourager, motivator, and stayed in constant contact with her children, her grandchildren, and her family and friends. She was a beloved Mom, Nana, and friend. She will forever be an inspiration to us all as we marvel at her energy, interests, and love of people and life.
