Dorothy Curry

Dorothy "Dot" Curry of Frankville, born April 5, 1940, went to her heavenly home on November 11, 2023. Dot, known lovingly as Maw Maw, had a passion for sewing and was overwhelmed with joy to share that passion with others. She and her mother, Ethel, made countless lapthrows, baby blankets, and quilts for family, friends and anyone in need. Many of her lap throws and quilts have donned the beds of the nursing home over the years. Dot loved her church, brim fishing, front porch sitting and reading. Most of all, she loved the time she spent with her family.
