Janet “Darlene” McCurry, age 69, of Burnsville, went Home to the loving arms of Jesus and her awaiting family on Thursday, July 13th, 2023. A native of Buncombe County, she was a daughter of the late Robert Glenn Wilson, Sr. and Ellen Mae Parton Wilson. She was also preceded in death by her husband, Jerry McCurry; sister, Susan Wilson Case, and brothers: Ronnie Edward Wilson and Robert Glenn Wilson, Jr.
She had a beautiful laugh and a strong spirit. She loved her Lord and was a dedicated Christian. She loved gardening and working in her flowers. The highlights of her life were her granddaughters – one who sang to her and one who sent her cards. Darlene was such a beautiful lady, inside and out.
Surviving are her children: Heather Hall (Robert) of Spruce Pine, Shawn McCurry of Burnsville, and Jerilynn McCurry (Gary) of Burnsville; two granddaughters: Jessica and Sarah Hall; two brothers: Bill Wilson of Marion and Harold Wilson of Asheville; and a sister, Nancy Waldron (Ray) of both Ocklawaha, Florida and Hendersonville, NC. She is also survived by a number of nieces, nephews, cousins and friends.
