Obituary

BARRY, Louise “Weezie” M. (Curley), 81, of West Roxbury died March 19, 2024 at her home after a bout with cancer. She was born August 15, 1942, daughter of the late Louise (Delsie) Curley and Arthur Curley. Louise was a graduate of Jamaica Plain High School. Louise grew up in the Mission Hill Housing Projects on Parker St. in Mission Hill. Louise’s pride and joy was bringing up and enjoying her kids and doting on her grandchildren. She was a crossing guard for the Needham Police/Town of Needham, MA for 15 years where she enjoyed both crossing kids and taking as much detail work as she could. Louise is survived by her husband of almost 60 years, Francis “Frank” A. Barry, of West Roxbury, and their four children; Kristine Christo and her husband John of Berkley, MA; Brian Barry and his wife Marianne of Bridgewater, MA; Glenn Barry and his wife Michelle of Littleton, MA; and Keith Barry and his wife Leanne of West Roxbury, MA; one sister, Elizabeth “Betty” Curley and her spouse, Paula Dorfman of Newton, MA; and 9 grandchildren: Cameron Christo, Courtney Christo, Julia Barry, Emily Barry, Jack Barry, Mia Barry, Gus Barry, Elyse Barry, and Dash Barry. She was predeceased by five siblings: Richard “Richie” Curley, Joan (Curley) Zorrilla, Paul Curley, James “Jimmy” Curley, and Arthur “Punchy” Curley. Louise was a wonderful cook and baker, and she especially enjoyed making apple cake and ghost pie. Known by her grandchildren as “Nana”, she was always quick to play a game, show them how to cook, or even show them how to sew. Our monthly “Family Night” was the brainchild of Louise over 25 years ago. She loved tennis as well, playing several years in the Boston Gas Tennis League. Visiting Hours at the William J.
