Julia Curless

September 20, 1945 — March 18, 2013

Julia Ann "Judy" Doughman Curless, 67, died March 18, 2013, at the Hospice of Cincinnati. Her family, to whom she had devoted her life, was by her side. Judy was born September 20, 1945 in Jefferson, North Carolina. Judy is survived by her loving husband, Richard Curless. They were married in Cincinnati, OH on June 17, 1967; both at the young age of 21 . They lived the next 45 years of their lives together in complete devotion to one another. Judy is preceded in death by her father, Harry Doughman Jr. and survived and remembered by her mother, Mattie Mae Doughman; daughter and spouse, Sue and Kevin Salm; son and spouse, Geoff and Heather Curless; four grandchildren; sisters, Barb Lentz and Marie Doughman; brothers, Jerry, David, and Dale (Sam) Doughman; half-brother Larry Doughman and half-sister Sandra Doughman Wilson; cousin Dean (Nyla) Surber, and many other relatives, too many to mention but all of whom were loved. Judy worked wholeheartedly to care for those she loved most, especially her family and friends. She did many years of volunteer work, was a leader in scout and church programs, enjoyed working with children, and was a fifth grade teacher at E.H. Greene Intermediate School in the Sycamore Community School District. In addition to participating in projects to help others, she loved to travel, play golf, dance, and be involved with her children's activities. Her home and flower garden were a special joy to her. The visitation will be held at Thomas-Justin Memorial, 7500 Montgomery Road, Cincinnati, OH 45236, on Thursday, March 21, 2013, from 5 PM until 8 PM. The Funeral Service will follow the next day at 4 PM Friday, March 22, 2013, at the Church of the Saviour United Methodist Church, 8005 Pfieiffer Road, Cincinnati, OH 45242.
