Mary Sue McIntosh, 93, of Spring Hill, Arkansas, passed away peacefully in her sleep on Sunday, April 19,2026, with her precious Deb by her side at Heather Manor Nursing and Rehabilitation Center in Hope, AR.
Sue was one of 10 siblings born to Mary and Bunt Cato of Spring Hill, AR. With her death, only one sister, Kathryn Odell Humphries, is surviving.
Sue was a faithful and longtime member of Anderson Baptist Church. She held numerous jobs throughout her working career and was never afraid to put in hard work.
