Helen Curry

Helen Marie Curry, 86, of Fishers, IN passed away peacefully in her sleep on August 10, 2010.  Helen, known to her family and friends as Darlin, was born in Buffalo, NY on September 21, 1923.  She was the daughter of the late Edward and Catherine Agnes Cotter.
Darlin loved to share stories of growing up during the Great Depression in Buffalo, NY with her six brothers and sisters.  Her father was a firefighter and she was proud of the fireboat named for him in Buffalo.
For over 20 years Darlin traveled the world as a military wife with her late husband, Colonel John V. Curry.  She raised her five children in many states and countries.  Her favorite place was the beach and when John retired they moved to Bethany Beach, DE, where she was able to enjoy having her children and grandchildren visit. For the last several years, Darlin lived with and was cared for by her daughter, Cathy and son-in-law Phil.
Darlin's second career was as a baker, where her cheese bread would sell out before it even hit the store shelves.  She worked in several bakeries before retiring from Marsh in 1995.  Darlin also enjoyed volunteering at St. Vincent DePaul.  She loved playing cards, Bingo and Yahtzee.  Her true competitive spirit was visible to anyone who played with her.  She loved to read and do the daily crossword puzzle in pen.
The late Mrs. Helen Curry, much loved and loving mother and sister, is survived by brother, Richard Cotter; son, Jack Curry; and daughters, Beth Gross, Cathy Worrall, Therese Cochran & Pattie Ryan.  Darlin was also the beloved grandmother of Jackie, Michael & Scottie Curry, Michael Gross, Jennifer & Emily Worrall, Kelly Cochran, and Meg & Blake Ryan.  Darlin has four great-grandchildren, Jannik Lutz and Philip, Daniel & Joshua Zink who brought her much happiness and laughter.
In addition to her parents, she was preceded in death by her husband, John V. Curry in 2002.
