Lisa Ann Lyman Curley passed away peacefully March 8, at the age of 45 at her home in Morgan Hill. Lisa succumbed to terminal brain cancer with which she was diagnosed last July. She was born April 30, 1959 in Provo, Utah.
Lisa and her family have resided in Morgan Hill for the past 18 years where Lisa has been active in her children’s schools, the community, and her church. A professional seamstress, Lisa owned her own drapery business for many years, but her real love was working with young children. For the past seven years Lisa taught junior kindergarten at Oakwood Country School where she blessed the lives of many five-year-olds and their families.
Lisa is survived by her husband Douglas Ward Curley; her three children, Amelia Kate Curley Ortiz of Mesa, Ariz., Miles Lyman Curley, currently serving an LDS mission in Naga, Philippines, and Annalise Curley, a junior at Live Oak High School. She is also survived by her parents Richard and Mary Ann Lyman; her granddaughter Abigail Lisa Ortiz; and her siblings Lynda Bassett (Craig), Leslie Nelson (Steven), and Kendall Lyman (Donna).
A Memorial service will be held at 10:00am this Saturday, March 12 at the Church of Jesus Christ of Latter Day Saints chapel located at 1790 E. Dunne Avenue, Morgan Hill. The service is open to everyone. There will also be a visitation for those wishing to express their personal condolences to the family the evening before at the same location from 7 to 9pm.
Lisa influenced many children both at her school and at her church. This Friday evening visitation would be most appropriate for families to attend together with their children.
In lieu of flowers, a college scholarship fund for Lisa’s children has been established. Contributions should be made payable to “Oakwood Country School – Lisa Curley Fund” and sent to 105 John Wilson Way, Morgan Hill, CA 95037.
Lisa will be greatly missed by all who knew her and who were blessed by her cheerful life.
Arrangements under the direction of Habing Family Funeral Home, Gilroy.
