Obituary

The family of Elizabeth “Betty” Wagner Curran announces with great sadness the passing of their beloved mother on January 14, 2021 after a long battle with Alzheimer’s Disease. Born and raised in Yonkers, NY, Betty went on to graduate from the Academy of Mount Saint Vincent High School in Tuxedo Park, NY and Trinity College in Washington, DC. After college she worked as a secretary for the CIA. It was in DC where she met the love of her life Jack P Curran who was attending Georgetown Dental School. They married in 1954 and moved to Norwalk CT where they resided for 35 years and raised 4 children. As her children grew older Betty became a licensed real estate broker. When she wasn’t working she enjoyed dancing, playing bridge and golf. In 1990, Betty and Jack retired to Skidaway Island in Savannah, GA. In her retirement Betty became a Lifemaster bridge player, founded a dancing troupe called the Savannah Strutters and made a hole in one playing golf. The most important things to Betty were family, friends and faith. She was a loving wife, a loving mother, a loving grandmother and the favorite aunt to all her nieces and nephews. Betty is survived by her sons Jack, Paul (Marilen) and Robert. Grandchildren John Mobley, Chris Mobley and Paul Curran. She was predeceased by her husband Jack in 2003, brother Chester Wagner, sister Mary Lou Landry, daughter Jane Mobley Zehringer and grandson Gregory Mobley. Due to Covid restrictions services will be private. The family asks that those who wish to express sympathy consider making a donation to the Alzheimer’s Foundation of America.

    I am sorry to hear of Betty’s passing. She and my Mom, Betty Ann Harris, were friends for many years in CT. My Mom passed away the day after Betty on January 15 2021. I am sure they were overjoyed to see one another in the heavenly hereafter. My condolences for your loss

"If I could give 6 stars I would. Aria made a difficult easier to deal with by basically taking care of everything in an efficient but very empathetic manner. I can speak highly enough of Dusty Martin, who helped us with all of the planning and logistics. He was incredibly understanding and helpful."

"Nothing prepares you for the grief you go through when losing a child. I called this funeral home at 2:00 am broken and could barely talk. The amount of compassion and empathy they showed me immediately let me know I found the right place to cremate my son. I cannot thank them enough for their professionalism, SINCERE concern, and commitment to making sure my son was honored in the most respectful way. I hope this Funeral home values her as much as my family and I do."

"I can’t say enough about how helpful and professional Dusty Martin, the funeral director at the Aria Cremation location on NW Highway has been. From my initial call, he was kind and informative. My friend died at home while on hospice and she was picked up in about an hour after receiving the call from the hospice nurse. The person who arrived to pick her up was also very professional/respectful and allowed us to take as much time with her as we wished. When I met with Dusty the next day about arrangements, he explained the process and options available without being pushy or trying to “sell” extras. Throughout the process, he kept me informed and, for example, was careful to be certain I understood the cost of the obituary I wanted and offered some options for reducing that cost if I wished. When I stopped by for another reason and started talking about some of the problems I was having with the pictures and media I hoped to use at a memorial lunch I was planning, he not only listened patiently but offered technology advice and let me use his personal media player. I have had experience arranging cremations for four others using two other local companies, and this experience with Dusty at Aria has been by far the best one I have had."

"My Daddy’s service and our family experience at Aria Northwest Highway was truly blessed. Funeral Director Dustin Martin is the kind of person that you would like to see on a more regular basis – but in his industry – you hope to not see him that often. That being said – THANK YOU DUSTIN for your unending kindness, compassion and friendship through the process. Meeting you and discussing Dallas History, Find A Grave and my Dad’s lifelong contributions to the great City of Dallas was simply wonderful! In memory of my dad James A. Dodd, Sr. – I want to personally thank you and let you know that you made everything better in that moment. Your calling to “Be There” is spot on. Aria has a one in a million guy in you! Bling Blinky of TEXAS Shout Out: God Bless You!!"
