I have wonderful memories as a child at grandma and grandpa Curry's house. The house was full of family, all us kids together. I remember the steps going upstairs they seemed so steep. The times we went to Flordia to visit. Swimming in December, outside, that was so cool. They let me come down with my girlfriends and stay after I graduated high school. Grandma always washed clothes inside out, everything. She was always so neat and tidy. She made to best noodles from scratch. We missed alot not living close but still have alot of fond memories. She had a good, long life. We will miss you and love you always.

I miss Grandma so much, she has taught me so much. Grandma always was very interested in my school dances and if I danced with anyone. She always asked if I had a boyfriend. She loved our family very much and she loved to talk about everyone and she always had us on her mind. Grandma inspires me to always work hard and to have courage. She was a big part of my life I always wanted to be there to help her when she needed it the most. I will miss her more then anything but she'll be happy to be with Grandpa again. You will always be in my heart I love you so much.

One thing I wished I would have done more often was call Great grandma and tell her thank you for thinking of us. Every year until I was 21, I could count on her mailing a birthday card that arrived on my birthday, if it didn't fall on a Sunday... which is remarkable considering there were 23 "greats".We would all take turns trying to figure out what it said, but dad was the only one who could read it. She would fill us in on the other great grand kids and wished us well in whatever activities papa Tom had updated her on that we were in.It meant a lot. I am very thankful I got to go down to Fl. in 08 and spend some time talking with her. She shared more with me that day about her childhood and family than i can ever remember talking with her. She was such a strong woman and had so much courage. Great Grandma is in a much better place, far better off and I can't wait till I see her again one day and we can share more memories. My prayers go out to all of her family and friends.

I will miss Grandma so much, I am glad that I moved to florida and was able to be close to her. She was such an important part of my life and my children's. She inspired me to work hard, cook better and clean better! I remember on her birthday this past year she told me that she thought that her time left was short but that she was so fortunate that all of her family was so great and that she would spend her time thinking about the good memories. I will always remember the good memories with her and her bright smile and laughter.I love you so much Grandma!

I had a chance to live near or with Grandma and Grandpa as a child and I do not recall where she ever took a day off or had a bad day. She was tenacious in her efforts to support her family and community. A pace I don't think any of us can ever live up to, but something for all of us to remember and to strive for in our lives. And, I was with grandma in her last day, hours and minutes. I was told days in advance of my arrival that she would not make it another day. When I got there she raised her right arm, nothing else moved, and she grabbed onto me for a long hug. I knew then people didn't know this woman and her strength. I know her mind was telling her to keep going, and though I knew her for 45 years, she still exceeded my expectations in her strong will for life. That strength and strength of character will be with all of us to share with our families for decades to come. And, thank you for letting me have all of the cookies I wanted. I Love You Grandma.

I also have fond memories of Christmas with Grandma and Grandpa in Ohio, all the activity, and the best ever sunny side up eggs when we spent the night. I was fortunate enough to live in Tampa for six years and spent time with her and Grandpa. Grandma worked so hard for everything. She was so proud of her accomplishments but always sharing whatever she had. Mike and I loved going over to her house for Sunday dinners of pot roast and the best cookies ever. She would always serve us one cookie but Mike always managed to charm her into giving him a few more, Grandpa never had the same success. She really was a wonderful lady and I’m thankful that I knew her as a child growing up and as an adult.

Grandma you will be missed very much. She had such a sweet spirit about her, and let you know what she thought about things.I know I learned many things from her. She was a get-in & get-it-done lady. We loved our times at the house in Trotwood. We had so much fun when all the Grandkids got together for the holidays, yes we always had to line up in age order and take a picture. Then Grandma & Grandpa moved to Florida. I remember spending one Christmas there when they lived in the Trailer Park and we went Christmas Caroling within the park. Grandma was very proud of her children and grandchildern. We are a blessed family with many, many memories. Tina - The oldest grandchild!

Don and I will miss his mother greatly. Although we were not frequent visitors after she moved to Florida, we made every effort to see her often when we were close by and have many fond memories of those times. Don takes after his mother more and more each day in his demeanor, in his gait and in his strong will. May God choose to make Mother C. an angel in his heaven.

I remember staying with Aunt Dorothy when I was little, this was befor Karen was born, and people used to think I was her daughter. As much as I loved my mother, I always thought that was neat. And, I think my handwriting is getting more like hers every day

Although it has been many years since I last saw Aunt Dorothy I thought of her often. I always looked forward to her letter at Christmas when she would share the news of her family and her pride in them always shined through. She and Coletta were such a comfort to me when our own mother passed. Marie Berry

I'm so grateful for the time I've spent with my Great Grandma. I feel lucky to have known her for 23 years and that both of my boys have got to meet her. It breaks my heart to know I won't see her again but I know she is in a much better place, happy, and reunited with Grandpa Curry. She loved her family dearly and I'm really going to miss her. I love her so much and she will always be in my heart.

My Grandma Curry was always fond of her entire family and was always wanting to know how our families were doing. I know she loved all of us and we loved her too. I remember all of us cousins 10 of us--grandchildren having fun together in the upstairs of her house and outside in the yard on Union Road, Trotwood, OH. I remember the kids ate Thanksgiving or Christmas Eve meals in the kitchen while the adults ate in the dining room. The grandchildren always had to line up on Christmas Eve to take a picture of all us--lined up from oldest to youngest. I think I remember someone always taking home movies of all of us at the holidays. The last time I saw Grandma was several years ago at my parents home in Marblehead, OH. I remember staying at Grandma's house in Florida on vacations back in the 1970's. My prayers and thoughts are with the family. Love, Linda Curry Foster

We remember Aunt Dorothy as having a lot of spunk and saying what was on her mind. We will always remember when her and ColettaCliff's mother came and spent the night. We drove them over to Tiffin and around St. Francis Home where they had lived when children. We enjoyed every minute of listening to them talk and reminisce the past. We surely will miss her. Our thoughts and prayers to her family. Sincerely, Cliff & Judy Young

Dorothy was my sister. As sisters there were 3 of us. Myself, Dorothy and Mary Gertrude when we were young 16, 12 and 11. we used to sit around the pot belly coal stove, with our feet on the edge to keep warm. we would be reading books until our dad would holler at us to go to bed. I have a lot of fond memories of Dot.I will miss her.

I have so many memories of Mother, but at this moment the memory of being with her during her death process and until her last breath is the most vivid. She was a fighter till the end as she was during her life. Mom was normally cold and always wore a sweater. She often also had the heater on in her room, and I would be sweating from the heat. During her dying process, she was the opposite and was very warm. Florida was having frigid temperatures at this time, and Mom loved for me to put my cold hands on her forehead and cheeks. I am grateful that I was able to be with her till her last breath.
Art, Nancy and Tom came to visit Mom a few days before she died and we called the Hospice chaplain to come in and minister to Mom. She said the words "Lord's Prayer" indicating that she wanted the Lord's Prayer to be recited. We were all impressed with this chaplain and have asked him to officiate at the memorial service and at the cemetery at Bay Pines.
