Catherine, or Mickey, as she was known, had a great appreciation of the beauty of the Island, nature, and animals. She enjoyed gardening throughout her life. From her youth Mickey loved cats and dogs. Her family raised beautiful Siamese cats, and always owned dogs of all shapes and sizes. Mickey was an accomplished seamstress and needle worker and her homes were filled with the beauty of her numerous creations. She could turn her hand to anything, a true gift. She was a kind, loving, and thoughtful woman.

The great loves of Mickey’s life were her two sons, John T. Clements Jr. and Albert Clements, and her husband Edward (Ted) Curran. Her husband and son John predeceased her. Mickey leaves her beloved son Albert, her dear cousin Gloria de Bettencourt, and her dear friends the Cogliano family.

Mickey and her beloved Ted lived in Hawaii, Nevada, Virginia, Delaware, and Massachusetts due to Ted’s job. The couple also traveled to and lived in Japan. Upon Ted’s retirement, the Currans moved back to Mickey’s family home in Oak Bluffs. Mickey immersed herself back in the community by volunteering at the Oak Bluffs Council on Aging and preparing AARP tax returns for seniors free of charge.

During almost the last five years of Mickey’s life her home was at Bourne Manor in Bourne. The administration and staff were true angels on Earth who cared for Mickey’s needs with great love and attention, which her loved ones will forever appreciate.
