Obituary for Rev. Charles Curry
Rev. Charles Roy Curry, 73 years of age, was born October 4, 1949 to Rev. Mayo E. and Laura M. Cotton Curry of Delhi, LA. Jesus, our Savior, called him home on Tuesday, October 25, 2022.

Rev. Curry was known to most as “Charlie”, but he had many beloved titles: of these Daddy, Pop, PawPaw, Uncle Charlie, Bishop, and Pastor. All of these titles were given out of love and respect, but his true heartbeat was telling and showing people he came in contact with every day the love and gospel of Jesus Christ. He loved to share the word of God with everyone he met. Because of this true calling, he came to a “foreign field”, a land without family, to found and Pastor Christian Revival Center in Reisterstown, Maryland for the last 40 years.
Rev. Curry was a licensed minister with United Pentecostal Church International for 48 years. In these 48 years he held many offices such as, Home Missions Director, Presbyter, Men’s Ministry Director, Pastor, and Bishop.
The many lives that were changed because he came and shared his heartbeat only time will tell. Rev. Curry was a “builder of men”. He would take those no one wanted and invest time into building their character through God’s word. He always led by example. He was the kindest, most long-suffering man of God to so many. Oh, the stories he could tell, and though God gave us a beautiful life of 73 years, it’s never quite long enough.
Our beloved “Charlie” leaves behind him a clear path for us to follow. He leaves many cherished memories and stories. Those which remain to follow, a devoted wife of 52 years, Alfreida Boothe Curry. Three children, Laura Dionne Curry of Reisterstown, MD, “mine only son”, as Charlie would say, Rev. Chad Anthony Curry, wife Melissa of Reisterstown, MD, and Amy Denise Curry of York, PA. His four spoiled grandchildren, Jack Riley Hudspeth, Tara Grace Hudspeth, Kyla Roxanne Curry and Bristol Rose Curry all of Reisterstown, MD. A sister, Clara M. Curry Elliott, husband James, of Jena, LA. A brother, Bill Cotton, wife Maudella of Sicily Island, LA, and a host of nieces, nephews and friends.
Rev. Curry was preceded in death by his parents, Rev. Mayo E. and Laura M. Cotten Curry. Five brothers, Earl, Sherman, Solon (a.k.a. “Peanut”), Jerry and Mack Curry, and one sister, Katherine Curry Mills.
In lieu of flowers, the family has requested that monetary offerings be directed to Christian Revival Center Building Fund. https://Crc.churchtrac.com/give
