Funeral services will be held at 1pmCT on Wednesday, May 7, 2025, at Stotts-Phelps-McQueary Funeral Home, 210 Greensburg St., Columbia, KY. Burial will follow in the Maupin Cemetery in Albany, KY, with military honors provided by VFW Post 6097 at the funeral home.

He was born in Columbia, KY on March 19, 1934, to the late Avert Renus and Fannie Lou Corbin Curry.

He was also preceded in death by his wife Jean Smallwood Curry, a great grandson Jason "Jay" Laine Edward Richardson, and three siblings Raymond E. "Pete" Curry and his wife Doretta, Ralph Gilbert Curry and his wife Helen, and Clifton Marshall Curry, and a brother-in-law Charles Sidney Helm.

Survivors include two children Kenda Jean Curry Shinault of LaGrange, KY and Roger Dale Curry of Louisville, KY; a granddaughter Tiffany Elaine Dunaway (Jason); two great grandchildren Brynna Dylaine Richardson (Jackson) and Ivy Jean Curry; two great great grandchildren Josef and Mia Mason; a brother Lewis Curry (JoAnn) of Columbia, KY; twin sisters Beulah Carter (Stanley) and Eula Helm both of Columbia, KY; a sister-in-law Marie Curry of Louisville, Ky and several nieces and nephews.

Mr. Curry attended Buckner Baptist Church in Buckner, KY and was a veteran of the U. S. Army. He was devoted to God and his wife of 61 years, he was a simple man who absolutely cherished his family, siblings and family. He loved to talk and tell stories, and he was kind to all. Over the years, he built many beautiful homes. At heart, he was a carpenter, plumber, electrician, mechanic, builder, tree cutter and problem solver. He was "old school" in that he would fix it before buying something new. Each spring he loved plowing his garden to plant and can tomatoes along with other vegetables. He kept up with politics and current events, and he enjoyed reading newspapers, history books, and manuals. His biggest and brightest smiles, however, came from time spent with his grandchildren.

Stotts-Phelps-McQueary Funeral Home is in charge of arrangements. Online condolences at stottsphelpsmcquearyfh.com.
