Ann Marie Curtis

Ann M. Curtis, 78, passed away peacefully on Thursday, November 27, 2025. Ann moved to Omaha 3 years ago from Pierre, SD to be close to her family after she retired from working. She was born in Duluth, Minnesota on January 14, 1942 to Richard and Marion (St Marie) Precord. Her family moved to Grand Marais, Minnesota 1964 at the start of her Senior year where she attended Cook County High School. She met her future husband, Cliff Curtis, on a blind date to a high school football game. They were married on June 25,1966 and had two children, Theresa and Tony. In 1972, after Cliff joined the Marine Corps, the family left Grand Marais and ended up moving several times throughout the years. Cliff got out of the Marines in 1980 and they moved back to the Duluth area for a short time. After getting hired by the Federal Aviation Administration in 1982, the family moved once more and ended up in Pierre, SD. This is where Cliff and Ann would live for many years to follow. Ann had many jobs throughout her lifetime: Stay-at-home Mom, waitressing, selling Avon, restaurant hostess, special education teachers aide, and managing a local Pierre business.

Her hobbies included fishing, DIY projects, playing games, traveling, and enjoying her and Cliff's restored 1969 Roadrunner. She will forever be remembered as a great listener, sound advice giver, and a thoughtful and loving person to all that called her Mom, Mema, or a friend.
