Morris Ray Curry, age 83 of Warren passed away on Saturday, April 26, 2025, at The Blossoms at White Hall Rehab and Nursing Center in White Hall. He was born on May 14, 1941, in Warren to the late Artimes Morris Curry and Mable Stuard Curry. He was a welder who built aluminum boats. Morris ended his lengthy career at SEARK Marine in Monticello. He was a great outdoorsman who enjoyed archery, fishing, and hunting deer, turkey, and duck. He loved to share his extensive knowledge of the outdoors and wildlife with everyone, especially with those who were just learning about hunting and fishing. He was a member of Greens Lake Hunting Club for many years. He and Carolyn spent countless hours there along with grandchildren and his close friends.
Morris loved his family and invested time with them from camping to hunting to teaching the grandchildren how to drive the Ranger. After Leigh left home and married, she and her daddy would still enjoy at least one yearly fishing trip. He could build anything you could dream up including two swing sets, a treehouse, camp buildings, outdoor sheds, bridges to span a creek, and countless other projects.
Other than his parents he is preceded in death by his wife, Carolyn Anderson Curry whom he married on February 8, 1963 at the age of 21; his sister, Annice.
Survivors include his daughter, Leigh Ann Curry Browning (Kyle) of White Hall; grandchildren, Jess, Lucy, and Grace; sisters, Sherry and Teresa; nephew, Aaron Anderson whom he helped raise and a host of beloved nieces and nephews.
Visitation will be held from 10:30 a.m. to noon on Saturday, May 10, 2025, at Frazer’s Funeral Home. A private family burial service will be held at Wilmar Cemetery. Memorials may be made to Arkansas Game and Fish (for Hunter Education programs) in memory of Morris Curry.
