Patsy Curry Obituary
Heights, Illinois.
She was born on August 19, 1936 in Lee County Virginia, the daughter of W. Ross and Vera
(Bailey) Myers. In addition to her parents, she was preceded in death by her husband, George
Arthur Curry, a brother, James Myers, and a sister, Flora Gay Van Guelpen.
A faithful and devoted Christ follower, Pat actively helped in church life from her youth. In
marriage, she served alongside George as a missionary and teacher in south Texas and then in
New Mexico. She received her B. A. in education at Western New Mexico University and taught
elementary school on the Navajo reservation until retiring to Ashland in June 2004, where she
volunteered to assist with VBS and the nursery at First United Methodist Church of Ashland.
When her husband, George, went to be with God, she lived with her son, Arthur and his wife
Kayla for a time, then settled in the Chicago suburbs with her daughter, Mary Jane, her spouse
Alix Atienza and their two sons, Grayson and Lucas. After five years of mutual love and care
with her family, along with a lifetime of adventure and dedication, she surrendered her spirit to
the realms of heaven to praise God and rejoice with the angels.
She is survived by one son, Arthur Ross Curry and his wife, Kayla, of Hermitage TN; one
daughter, Mary Curry Atienza and her husband, Alix Atienza of Arlington Heights, IL; six
grandchildren, Gracie Harris, Lincoln Curry, Hudson Curry, Liberty Curry, Grayson Atienza and
Lucas Atienza.
