Lynda Curtis - Before and During

After losing Lynda, my loved one, to Alzheimer's, I knew I couldn't just stand by. I wanted to honor her memory in a way that would make a difference. That's why I joined the fight to end this devastating disease by creating this tribute page in her name.

By taking this step, I'm raising funds to support the critical work of the Alzheimer's Association: providing care and support for families, advancing promising research and offering a lifeline through their free 24/7 Helpline (800.272.3900). Every dollar raised helps ensure that no one faces Alzheimer's alone.

Lynda was intelligent, artistic, and sociable to mention just a few of her characteristics that led me to marry her.  Of course her beauty and a certain little green dress didn't hurt anything.  During her working life she managed the front office for doctors, and the last 7 years she had her own business billing and collecting for anesthesiologists.  For over 10 years after retiring she made exquisite quilts and earned numerous ribbons at competitions including second place in an international competition.

She was diagnosed with Alzheimers in the spring of 2021.  In 2023 I could no longer take care of her and had to put her in a Memory Care unit.  It was a steady decline after that.  For the last 6 mos. of her life she couldn't talk, walk, or feed herself.  She died Nov. 21,2025.  I got to hold her hand until the last.

I'd be so grateful if you would make a memorial gift in her name. It would mean a lot to me and those facing this relentless disease. 

A future without Alzheimer's is out there. Let's get there, together. 

Thank you in advance for your kindness and generosity.
