(From Parker Mortuary)
Cynthia "Lori" Curry, 56, passed away on April 2, 2025, in Willard, Missouri. She was born on May 18, 1968 to the late Brian Gene Curry and Pearline Ellen (Watkins) Curry."Lori" was a precious gift from God. She was born perfectly healthy. She brought a great deal of joy to our parents.
"Lori" would never walk or run, she would never play with other children, never marry or have children. But, none of that ever robbed her of her joy. She was the light in the room everywhere she went. She did have her favorites in people and at times that was dependent on how forthcoming you were with getting her the things she wanted at any given moment. She had a sense of humor and loved giving people a hard time. She had a cunning smile and a wink that let you know you were targeted, she had your number.
"Lori" loved many things. Baby dolls, M&M's, Dollar bills, and Coffee are among some of her most treasured things. She always loved to see babies and small children. Her eyes would light up at the sight of them, exclaiming, "Ahh, Cute!"
While "Lori" never dated nor married she did have two great love affairs in life. For the grand majority of her life, she had a tremendous fondness for Randy Travis. That was until he got old. Then her interests shifted to an obsession with Luke Bryan.
The past two years have been the most difficult of her journey through life. However, she is firmly in the arms of Jesus, running the streets of gold, playing and laughing, hugging our momma and daddy, and drinking all the coffee, tea, and POP she wants, (if those things are permitted in Heaven.) We can celebrate her life in jealousy of her great reward.
"Lori" is survived by her two younger brothers, Phillip Tyree Curry of Willard, MO, and Aaron Patrick Curry of Seneca, MO, and their respective families.
Along with her parents, "Lori" was preceded in death by her older brother, James Allen Kearnes.
This final remark may likely upset a great many people but to those who knew our family the most and were around our father and "Lori" over the years, it will make perfect sense. "Goodbye Lori, you silly heifer. We love you!"
A Celebration of Life is planned for Sunday, May 18, 2025 at 6:00 p.m. at Hornet Christian Church in Seneca, MO.
In lieu of flowers, memorial contributions may be made to Lori's Memorial Fund or by bringing a baby doll that can be given to children with disabilities in group homes in the Joplin regional area. Please contact Ty Curry directly at lifeguard4christ@gmail.com or by calling him at 417-621-1718.
The family would like to express a deeply heartfelt gratitude for all the many people who have been directly involved with Lori's care over the past 56 years.
When she was several months old, she became ill. The doctor at the time told our mother that she was, "a young dumb mother who didn't know how to take care of a sick baby." On Christmas Eve night, when "Lori" was only seven months old, our father carried his baby girl into the hospital as she was having multiple seizures. "Lori" had contracted spinal meningitis which left her with significant brain damage and a condition known as Cerebral Palsy.
