May 5, 1934 — July 11, 2011
Peggy Ann Curry, 77, of Twin Falls passed away on July 11, 2011 while a resident at Wynwood of Twin Falls from Alzheimer's disease.
Peggy was born May 5, 1934 to Willard and Lelah Arlene (Wilson) Teater of Kimberly. She was the first of four children followed by Jack, Kurt, & Karen Teater . At the age of 6, Peggy along with her family went to Texas to try their luck at farming and returned to Idaho a few short years later. While in Texas, Peggy found her love of horses and that love continue for many years after she returned to Kimberly. She spoke, many times of riding in the south hills and the area south of Kimberly. She loved to write poetry and hope someday they could be published. Peggy was the Belle of any Ball and could dance at the envy of most women. She was hard to beat at pinochle, and smiled when she out fished her son's and husband. Camping was where she enjoyed her time and a picnic was never passed.
She attended Kimberly schools and graduated in 1953. Her desire for more education took her to Caldwell Idaho where she attended the College of Idaho. There she met the handsome William (Bill) Curry .Their courtship lasted 2 years before they were married on July 17, 1954. The new Curry family returned to make their home in Kimberly. From this union came two wonderful sons, Mark & Darrin Curry. As a young mother, Peggy became a representative of the Avon products, where she received many awards and made many friends along her route. She was a scout leader and the neighborhood mother for kids to gather.
In 1980, she and Bill moved to Twin Falls. Here she began her working career at Heritage/Woodstone care center where she spent 7 years while still doing her Avon and other young mother and wife duties. She and Bill were active in the Twin Falls Reformed Church, the Twin Falls Elks Lodge where Bill had been exalted ruler for many years and as an employee of Gem State Paper, both he and Peggy were able to do a lot of fun traveling. They were active members of the Twin Falls Senior Citizen center since 1995and at any given day of the week the Curry's could be found eating lunch and being the welcoming couple. During the years Peggy was known for her outgoing personality and was fun to be with and a wonderful mother and wife.
