HENNIKER – Shirley Mae (Melendy) Curtis, 73 of Henniker, went to be with her Lord on Friday, November 29, 2024.

She was born in Lebanon, NH on January 30, 1951 to Raymond Melendy and Etta (Pike) Stone.

Shirley was a devout member of the Methodist Church in Hillsboro and enjoyed hosting Tuesday Bible Study in her home. She was an avid crocheter, providing 100’s of blankets for anyone in need, whether it was a newborn, the sick, the elderly or anyone who needed the comfort from their warmth.

She found daily joy in her gardens, baking, canning and her many books. Everything was shared unselfishly. Her special talent was finding the “perfect” gift, trinket, or card for the many people she loved in her life.

She is survived by her loving husband of 39 years, Joseph Curtis Jr., sons Roland Genest of Henniker and Russell Genest of NJ. Her brother Timothy Hudson, Sr. of MI and sister Marjorie Stafford of AL. as well as many grandchildren and great-grandchildren. She is also survived by her nieces, nephews, extended family and her loving pets Loki and Whistler.

She is preceded in death by her parents, her brothers William Melendy and Wilfred (Butch) Hudson, her sisters Nancy Sullivan and Judith Tucker.

A Celebration of life will be held at the Methodist Church in Hillsboro, 16 Henniker St. Hillsboro, NH. 03244 on Friday, December 13th at 2:00pm. Funeral Services are under the care of Holt-Woodbury Funeral Home and Cremation Services. For more go to www.holtwoodburyfh.com.
