Jean E Curry, 86, previously of Muncy and Watsontown, PA, passed away peacefully with family at her side, Wednesday, August 24, 2022, at Blue Ridge Therapy Connection, Stuart, VA, where she had resided for the past several years.
Born in Muncy, PA, she was the daughter of the late Charles W. and Dorothy Confer Mingle. Her husband, William E. “Bill” Curry, died September 24, 2018, following 60 years of marriage.
A dedicated and loving wife and mother, she was a homemaker for the majority of her life.

She graduated from North-Mont Joint High School, Turbotville, PA in 1954.
She was a member of White Hall Baptist Church. After Bill retired in 1994, they became avid travelers, hitting the road on his Honda Goldwing motorcycle/trike, attending many yearly motorcycle rallies, from The Americade in Lake George, NY, to The Honda Hoot in Asheville, NC, and Biketoberfest, in Daytona Beach, FL.
Surviving are son, Mark E. (Dalon) of Stuart, VA, and twin daughters, Melissa S. Curry-Ranck (Christopher) of Columbus, NJ, Michelle J. Wertman of Levittown, PA; three brothers, Fred H.
