Jean Curley

Jean P. Curley, age 86 of Madison, passed away following a brief illness on February 14, 2019 at Agrace Hospice. She was born in Racine on November 13, 1932 to the late Alfred and Anne (Bradley) Robinson.
Jean married William A. Curley on November 26, 1955. After building a loving family together, he preceded her in death on May 8, 1983.

Family, travel and reading were the things Jean loved. Her suitcase was always packed and passport at hand for the next adventure. She touched the lives of family and friends with her nurturing heart and spunky character. As caregiver for one of her many grandchildren, she became an honorary "bus stop mom."

Jean is survived by her daughters Ann, Beth (Richard) Prestine, Kathy (Bill) Kollath, and Peggy; 11 grandchildren; 6 great-grandchildren; and extended family and friends. She was preceded in death by her parents, husband, sister Pat and son Bill.

Our family extends a special thank you to the medical staff of UW Hospital, especially her incredible nurse JD, and the loving staff of Agrace HospiceCare.

A Celebration of Life will be held at a later date.

In lieu of flowers, donations may be made to Agrace or a favorite charity.
