CURRY, Donald Curry

It is with love and sadness that we share the news of the passing of Don on Monday, December 1, 2025 at the age of 96 1/2.

Beloved husband and best friend of the late Elizabeth “Betty” (2006) for over 57 years. They built a family grounded in love. Cherished and adored by his son Clifford (Martine) and daughter Cathy Osgood (Peter). Devoted grandpa of Matthew (Colleen), Jennifer (Shawn Jefferson) and Jessica (Zac Wrobel). Great Grandfather of Quinn and Claire Jefferson, Ava and Brynn Curry and Rylie Wrobel.

Dad came from a large and loving family consisting of eight siblings in the beautiful village of Haliburton. Brother of the late George (2005) and Terry, late Gwen (2018) and Joe, late Millie (2023) and Ernie, late Russell (2002) and Faye, late Lloyd (2025) and Louise, late Ruth (2021) and Les, and Jack (2025). He will be fondly remembered by his many nieces and nephews.

Dad and mom spent most of their years together in Sudbury (Gatchell). Where dad was a long-time employee of Inco, and a proud volunteer firefighter. They spent many summers at the camp at Ratter Lake and those classic Labour Day get togethers. They later spent their retirement divided between Haliburton, Manitoulin Island and Arizona.

Dad was very proud to tell you that he was retired longer than he worked.

Dad made friends everywhere he went with his smile and quick wit and the best hugs. He always said he would live to be 102 then get shot by a jealous husband…thank goodness that did not happen.

Dad and mom spent their summers on Manitoulin Island sharing adventures and stories and countless times seeing beloved deer with their grandkids whom they adored.

Dad’s legacy will live on in the countless lives he touched.

He will be missed by his cherished friends Roy and Maureen Hannah, Tracey, Brent, and Jennifer. The Hannah’s were like family. Deanna Rosenberg who kept dad in line and on standby to book his appointment and any other task of which he could think.

The staff of F.J. Davey Home in Sault Ste Marie, where do we begin to thank each of you for the unconditional love that you gave to our dad. You are all truly angels in disguise.

Don will have a celebration of life in the spring 2026 in Haliburton where he will be laid to rest with wife, mother and his siblings. Memorial donations to the FJ Davey Home or the charity of your choice is greatly appreciated.
