Sandra Denise Curry, 80, of Lewes, DE, died peacefully Friday, October 10, 2025 at the Delaware Hospice Center in Milford, DE, after a battle with cancer.
Sandy, as she was affectionately known, was born May 31, 1945 in College Park, MD, the daughter of the late Mearle Daniel DuVall and Mary Francis Gupton DuVall. She married Arthur Lorenza "Art" Curry, on October 18, 1984 in Silver Spring, MD.

Sandy was an avid reader and especially loved mystery novels, loved to work crossword puzzles and enjoyed spending time gardening in the yard regularly. She also loved hosting her friends, neighbors, and family for parties at her home. But her true passion was spending time with her grandchildren which gave her much joy in life.
