BRYNA CURLEY Obituary

CURLEY, Bryna An Angel Went to Heaven. Bryna (Levine) Curley passed away April 16, 2025 at age 84. She was the wife of Steve Curley and mother of Brad (Karen) and Joy (Joe Kempfer). She leaves her two perfect grandchildren, Isaac and Molly Curley. Bryna was the daughter of the late Harry and Sylvia Levine and grew up in Dorchester and Newton, MA. She graduated from Newton High School and started college at Boston University until she and Steve got serious. Dating led to engagement and then to a wedding in May of 1961. Bryna was a great wife and mother. She cared for Brad and Joy and had to take care of Steve as well. Their love for over 65 years was what commitment was supposed to be. Bryna worked for IBM on a machine that today, nobody knows but was the rage back in the early 60's. She was thrilled to be paid "$100 clear". She worked in banking with Bank of Boston and enjoyed her time as an ombudsman at the Senior Living Village of Farm Pond. She was sweet. She was an angel. She was fine. She was dignified. She had impeccable taste in everything from clothing to jewelry to antiques. It was antiques that made her happy. She was an expert and had a great reputation in the industry in Glass and China. Bryna did antique shows where she bought and sold and was respected for her knowledge. There was no one that knew Bryna that didn't love her. She never offended anyone and was everyone's friend. She was, as her husband called her, a China Doll. The family wants to recognize the love, support, and assistance Bryna was afforded at Mary Ann Morse Nursing facility in Natick by all the nurses and aides in the Birch Section. Funeral Service at Temple Beth Am, 300 Pleasant St., Framingham, MA, on Tuesday, April 22, 2025, at 11:30 am. Interment will follow at Shepetovka Cemetery (Baker St., West Roxbury). Memorial observance will be at the Hampton Inn, 319 Speen St., Natick, MA 3-5 pm and 6-8 pm, continuing Wednesday, April 23, from 5-8 pm. In lieu of flowers, donations in Bryna's memory may be made to the charity of your choice.

When she walked into a room, her smile and her emotion filled the room with joy and love. Dear, dear friend to my aunt and through my life had spent enough time to know exactly the person she was. May her memory be for a blessing.
