Julie and family, We are so sorry Curran has passed away. She was a remarkable woman who contributed so much to her family and community. I always enjoyed working with her and admired her so much. Her contributions to the school district and the library were exceptional. We hope your faith, family, friends and good memories will sustain you at this time. You have our deepest sympathy. Juli and Marty Smith, Naples, FL

I have such lovely memories of my cousin Curran and your grandmother, my Aunt Buster! I know how difficult it is through "the long goodbyes" caused by dementia. I'm sure she's up in heaven with Skip & all the Betz's playing poker! Cherish your wonderful memories of them!

To Curran's family, please accept my heartfelt condolences on your loss. My mom, Nancy McHugh, and Curran were a formidable team re-imagining the Cedar Rapids Public Library. Peace.
