Anna Mary "Sissie" Johnston Curtis, 94, lived a long and fruitful life due to her pioneer spirit and simple lifestyle.

Johnston and Mary Kelly Johnston. She was the fifth of eight children. She died peacefully on October 21, 2011 at a Homedale Care Center.

She married Alfred H. Curtis on October 9, 1938. They made their first home in Melba where they farmed. They moved to another farm near Homedale in 1941, where they raised their family of four sons and one daughter. They resided in Homedale all of their life except for six years when they lived in Gardena.
Anna Mary was a very loving and supportive mother who also took the time to care for her nieces and nephews before her own children were born. She was known for her wholesome cooking and welcoming hospitality. She always had a delicious meal for anyone who came to help brand cattle, stack hay or hunt on the farm.
She was preceded in death by her husband, her parents, three brothers, and two sisters.
