Helen Beth Worley Curry, fondly known as “Becky,” 86, passed away Jan. 31, 2018, in Bowie. A memorial service will be held Saturday, Feb. 3, at 11 a.m. in the chapel of the White Family Funeral Home of Bowie. Arrangements entrusted to the White Family Funeral Home of Bowie. Becky was born July 26, 1931, in Bowie, to Dave and Erle Worley. She was a retired elementary school teacher, serving in the Graham schools as well as the Irving school district. Becky was a Bowie High School graduate in the class of 1948 where she participated in the Jackrabbit band and where she received the honors from her classmates, of once being named “Miss Congeniality” as well as “Most Beautiful.” She loved her years at BHS where she met many lifelong friends. One of those special classmates was Roy Curry, whom she later married. She was a faithful wife and loving mother of two children: a daughter, DiAnne, and a son, Bronc. After they were in school, Becky made the decision to go back to school herself. She graduated from Midwestern State University, cum laude, where she earned her teaching degree. Following her retirement, Becky and Roy moved back to Bowie and became involved in various community interests such as delivering Meals on Wheels, supporting the Bowie Library, as well as supporting the education of young people through their interest in the Bowie Educational Foundation. Becky participated in Maids and Matrons, Precepts Bible Studies, and various bridge clubs. Becky is preceded in death by her husband, Roy L. Curry Sr.; her parents; brothers, Dave and Bob Worley; and a sister, Mary Jo Carlisle.
