Maureen T. Curry, 82, passed away peacefully at The Greens of Greenwich on July 23, 2021. Born in Brooklyn, NY on April 30, 1939 to Irish immigrants, John Curry and Bridget Whelan, Maureen graduated from Bishop McDonnell High School and went on to attend Michigan State University where she earned a BS and teaching credentials.
She loved children and taught Kindergarten through 12th grade in London, Ontario, Canada where she and her then husband adopted their only child. Upon returning to New York in 1977, Maureen worked at Cartier on 5th Avenue as a sales associate for several years, commuting daily by train from Hartsdale. She then became a circulation manager for The Greenwich Times and ultimately earned her real estate license, a job she loved and from which she never really retired.
Maureen relocated to Greenwich in the early 90’s. She enjoyed daily walks at Tod’s Point, going to the gym, dancing and socializing. She was an avid arts supporter, organizing exhibits for local artists at Greenwich area businesses, and a docent at The Bruce Museum. She also sang joyfully in her church’s choir for a number of years.
Maureen is survived by her daughter Ann, granddaughter Logan, younger sister Pat, niece Martha, nephews Tom and John, and numerous cousins in Ireland.
Please send any memorial donations to the Greenwich Art Society or the Alzheimer’s Association.
