Lee V. Curry was born in Woodbury NJ on the 11th day of August 1930 to William Curry and Frances Dennis-Curry. Lee passed away peacefully on Oct. 10th, 2025, at the age of 95. He was a beloved husband, father, grandfather and great-grandfather. Lee lived a life full of grit, passion and deep devotion to his family.
Lee was the cherished husband of Lorraine Elflien-Curry for 73 years and he often would lovingly refer to her as his "bride". This remarkable marriage was built on love, strength and unwavering partnership. Together they raised 7 children: Lee Jr. Curry (Sara), David A. Curry (Debbie), Robert R. Curry, June Denelsbeck (Paul), Richard R. Curry, Wendell H. Curry (Donna), and Bonnie L. Pierson (Larry). His legacy continues through his 12 grandchildren and 16 great grandchildren.
Lee lived a life of courage and tenacity. He competed for many years at the Cowtown Rodeo. He was inducted into the Salem County Hall of fame for his Bull Riding. He was a member of the Rodeo Cowboy association and rode bulls in Madison Square Garden from 1950-1953. He was honored at Madison Square Garden in 2019 for his many years and accomplishments when bull riding.
After hanging up his spurs he built a thriving construction business in Pennsville, NJ- a legacy that continues today through his children and grandchildren. He is known throughout the community for his beautifully crafted homes and buildings that stand as a testament to his skill and dedication. Not to mention his own house- the one he built himself. But it's not just a house, it's our home base. A place where our family has gathered over the years to feel comfort, to share love, and remember what really matters most. He will be deeply missed and lovingly remembered by family and friends across New Jersey, New York, and Florida.
Lee is predeceased by his parents William and Frances Curry and stepfather Raymond Dean, his brother John Curry and daughter Sharon Curry.
