Obituary of Mary G. Curry

Our loving mother, grandmother, aunt and sister Mary Curry passed away peacefully on February 20, 2022. She was born in 1937, the second child of Paul and Bridget Guzzardi. Mary grew up in New Britain, proud of her Italian heritage. She graduated from New Britain High School and continued on to Central Connecticut State University before starting her career as a teacher. She left teaching to raise her two boys, Peter and Patrick. Mary then went on to a 35 year career as a librarian at Trinity College, where she made great friends, mentored countless students and assisted faculty with their research. Mary had a love of literature, old movies, British mysteries and politics. Her greatest joy came from spending time with family. Mary is survived by her sons, Peter (wife Suzanna) of Lakeville, MN and Patrick (wife Christine whom she loved as her own daughter), of Glastonbury, and her five grandchildren who were the joy of her life: Erin (husband Jake Tolson), Mitch (fiancé Ari Basche), and Alex (girlfriend Emma Furlong), Jonathan and Andrew. She was Aunt Mary to loving nieces and nephews Linda Marie, Jennifer, Elizabeth, Paul, Bridget and John and their spouses and children. She leaves behind her brother Paul Guzzardi, his wife Francine of New Britain and her sister-in-law Linda Guzzardi of Berlin. She was predeceased by her beloved siblings Carmen Guzzardi and Ann Watson. Friends and family are invited to a Mass of Christian Burial Saturday, February 26 at 10:00AM at St. Paul Church, 485 Alling Street, Kensington. Burial will be private at a later time at the convenience of the family.
