Mary May Curby was born November 5, 1930, in Flomot, Texas, to Henry Rapp Rollins and Lula Alice (Ash) Stegall Rollins and passed away Friday, October 2, 2020, at the Fairview Regional Medical Center in Fairview, Oklahoma.
Mary May moved with her family to Carlsbad, New Mexico, and attended grade school there before moving to San Antonio, Texas, where she graduated from Harlandale High School in 1947. After graduation she moved to Detroit, Michigan, where she worked before returning home to San Antonio.
Mary married Arthur Curby on May 10, 1952, in Beeville, Texas. They moved to San Antonio where she went to work for the San Antonio Housing Authority as an Administrative Assistant until she retired many years later. In 1979, Mary and Arthur moved to Livingston, Texas, where they lived until they moved to Orienta, Oklahoma, on March 1, 1993. Arthur passed away Friday, June 12, 2009. Mary remained in their home the rest of her life.
Mary was a member of the Saron Mennonite Church of Orienta. As a young girl, she trusted the Lord as her Savior and was a devoted Christian the rest of her life. She was a Sunday School teacher, and worked with the youth for many years. Mary's favorite hobby was crocheting with yarn and thread, and she made many tablecloths and bedspreads. They were all beautiful and her family loved them and cherish them to this day. She was a loving wife, mother, grandmother, and great-grandmother who will be truly missed by her family and friends.
