Do villagers despawn when you cure them?

Villagers that have been infected by a zombie can despawn, even if they have been traded with. This makes it very difficult to rescue villagers after they have been infected, as the player may not move further than 128 blocks away from the infected zombie villager to gather all supplies needed to cure it.

How do you cure villagers?
Feed the villager a Golden Apple - you can do this by approaching the zombie villager and pressing the 'use' button. The grey swirls will turn red, and the zombie villager will start shaking. Wait a few moments, and the zombie villager will turn into a regular villager.

Do villagers forget you cure them?
Normally, a villager being cured multiple times can offer a heavier trading discount than one being cured once. However, when one save & quit the game while a villager is still being cured, upon returning to the game the villager will forget whether it has been cured before.
