Dorothy was born Oct. 30, 1930, in Hartington, to Andrew and Jennie (Jenson) Haahr.  Her desire to help others was evident through her career as a Human Services Technician for the State of Minnesota and by her frequent donations of blood to the American Red Cross.  Dorothy had many interests, including farming, animals (especially horses), gardening, needlepoint and canning.  Most of all, Dorothy was passionate about placing the needs of family and friends before her own.  She enjoyed hosting meals and was known for her homemade potato salad, pumpkin bread, and many other delicious specialties.  Dorothy was also extremely proud of her Danish heritage.

In addition to her parents, Dorothy was preceded in death by her beloved husband, Howard Curry; and brothers, Theodore, Richard and Wendell.  

She is survived by her children, Kathleen (Robert) Watts, John (Ann) Curry, Pamela (Roger) Walker, Mark (Lisa) Curry, Diane (Joseph) Rauzi, and Gail (Steven) Bishop; 20 grandchildren; 35 great-grandchildren, and one on the way; sisters, Laverne Evans and Shirley Haahr; and many nieces, nephews, relatives, and friends.
