Kathryn Curley, a resident of the Sullivan County Nursing Home, died Wednesday, December 24, 2003, at the home. She was 98 years of age.
The daughter of the late Francis and Mary Heavey Burke, she was born October 27, 1905 on a rural farm in Chokeout, Pa. She was the widow of William "Bill" Curley.
"God looked around his garden and found an empty place. He then looked down upon His earth and saw your loving face. He put his arms around you and lifted you to rest. His garden must be beautiful, He always takes the best. He knew you were suffering, He knew you were in pain. He saw your path was difficult so He closed your tired eyes. You've left us precious memories, your love will be our guide. It broke our hearts to lose you, but you did not go alone. For part of us went with you on the day God called you home."
In a family statement, it was said, "She truly enjoyed a long and cherished life and experienced historical events that most can only read about. Her childhood on the farm was shared with her three sisters and three brothers, of whom she was the oldest. Many of the things we take for granted today, like indoor plumbing and electricity, were not available. The only mode of transportation was the horse and buggy and of course, a long country walk to and from the one-room schoolhouse.
"After graduation from high school in Binghamton, Kathryn went on to pursue a career in New York City. She entered the registered nurse program at Miseracordia Hospital. Upon graduation, she practiced nursing as an operating room nurse for many years. It was in New York City that she met her husband, William Curley, an Irish motorcycle policeman for the City of New York.
"During the height of World War II, New York City was compelled to protect its upstate reservoir systems program. Bill was part of a group of NYC officers selected for assignment to the upstate reservoir system. After several years of living in the Neversink Valley, it was time to move to higher ground. Bill and Kathryn chose to purchase their valley home and in 1951 they successfully relocated the entire house to its current location on Lindholm Road in Bradley. Moving the house along with four children was a challenge and a testimony to the determination and hard work that was so commonplace in Kathryn and Bill's life. Once the children were raised and off on their own, Kathryn renewed her cherished driver's license and returned to her nursing career at the old Liberty Maimonides Hospital.
"Her life span covered two world wars, three major world conflicts, the Great Depression, the invention of indoor plumbing and electricity, cars, planes, phones, radio, TV and the space shuttle. I'm not sure that she ever really believed that NASA put a man on the moon.
"Her final wish would be: 'Do not stand at my grave and weep. I am not there. I do not sleep. I am a thousand winds that blow; I am the diamond glint on the snow. I am the sunlight on ripened grain; I am the gentle autumn rain. When you waken in the morning hush, I am the swift uplifting rush of the quiet birds in circled flight. I am the soft star that shines at night. Do not stand at my grave and cry. I am not there. I did not die.' The family of Kathryn would like to extend a personal thank you to all the wonderful staff of Sullivan County Nursing Home that provided so much love and care and became a part of her 'family'."
She is survived by a daughter, Marylou Curley of Kings Park; three sons and daughters-in-law, William and Karen Curley of Liberty, Dennis and Pat Curley of Niceville, Fla., and Michael and Ruth Curley of Bradley; four grandchildren, Mark Curley of Johnston, Debra Kinnie of Liberty, Dawn Daniel of Fairbanks, Alaska, and Dennis Curley of Boise, Idaho; and 10 great-grandchildren.
