Bonita Gage

Bonita Jane Hill-Curtsinger

Age 80, a resident of Lincoln, Arkansas, moved from Washington Regional Medical Center to her New Heavenly Mansion on August 12, 2025. She was born January 30, 1945 in Fayetteville, Arkansas, to Paul and Beulah Gage in Canehill, Arkansas.

She has attended Hale Mountain Holiness Church since she was a small child, where she played the piano, and accepted Jesus into her heart at an early age. Bonita had an unshakable faith that served her well as she cared for her late husband, Jack Hill, and her present husband Robert. She has been a loving step-mom to 4 bonus adults and their children.

She attended Fayetteville Business College, then worked at Shakespeare of AR from 1966 until they closed the plant. After she and Jack married, they moved to Sand Springs until he retired - Then- They traveled!!!

She was an avid Mickey & Minnie Mouse Collector (all shapes and sizes), even creating a room to display them, along with Campbell Soup Cups, Hen on Nest Glass Dish Collection, and so much more. She loved to fish, bake bread, travel with family on vacations, and go to church often. She was very active at the Senior Center in Lincoln, where she met her Robert and played a mean game of corn hole. Bonita was a Big cut-up and prankster, and her wit was surprising to those who didn’t know her well.

She was preceded in death by her late husband, Jack Hill, her step son, Jackie Dale Hill, her parents, Paul & Beulah Gage, her brother-in-law, Russell Carlton, and her grandparents.

She is survived by husband, Robert Curtsinger, his son Doug Curtsinger & wife Janet Darlene, and their 3 children, Jamie Coll, Amanda Kimball, and son Robert Curtsinger. Her sister Paulette Carlton, nephew Brian Carlton & Wife Tammy and their three boys, Luke, Justin and Evan, nephew Jeff Carlton, stepdaughter Kathy Hampton & husband Mike - their children, Chance, Tye, & Rickey, stepson Mike Hill & wife Becky and children Trista, Brandon & Jerrod, Stepdaughter-in-law, Mary Jane Hill and children Amy, Lori, Beth & Clint.

She was blessed to have had 2 loving and respectful marriages. We could all learn a lesson on how to love and treat your spouse. Bonita would want you to honor her memory by going to church, give your heart to God, live a Godly life, Love hard, Laugh a lot, And make every day special. If you want to see her again - You must be born again!!!
