Deidre (Dedee) Beth McCurry was born August 19, 1962, to Robert and Kay Alexander.
She married Mac McCurry at age 19 and they were never apart until her death.
Dedee was an amazing wife, mother, mother-in-law, sister, grandmother, and friend. She was undaunted by the difficulties of life. "Can't" was not a word she accepted from anyone but her Lord. If there was something she wanted to do she jumped right in and taught herself, from medical and veterinary skills to spinning fiber, handcrafting drop spindles or making Woldorf dolls, her skills were limitless. Dedee never followed the crowd, and if everyone was doing it you knew she was going in the opposite direction. This attribute led to some of her greatest adventures including homeshooling her children, delivering her grandchildren, and moving off-grid to live in the country. Jesus was the center of Dedee's life. His love in her spilled over to everyone around her. He was her sustainer until the end. During her painful illness with metastasized cancer, people would comment on how tough she was, but her answer was the same: "I'm not tough, I am a weak woman in the hands of a strong God." Dedee was carried in those strong arms across Jordan on Saturday, July 10, 2021, while in her home with her husband by her side.
She is waiting in heaven to see her husband, Mac McCurry; her children, Joel and Charity Kientz, Ben and Bethany Johnson, Bobby Alexander, and Andy and Kaylee Tidwell; 14 grandchildren; her brother, Boone Alexander and her step-father Jerry Williams.
Dedee's memorial will be held August 21, 2021, at Union Missionary Baptist Church in Marion, Kentucky, at 11 a.m.
