Dr. Ronald E.

Curry

Dr. Ronald E. Curry, 74, of Bethlehem, passed away on November 8, 2026 in St. Luke’s Hospital-Bethlehem Campus. He was born in Gardena, California and raised in Clark, New Jersey. He attended North Carolina State University, where he earned a degree in engineering. He then went on to pursue his dream of becoming a chiropractor, obtaining his doctorate of chiropractic at the Pennsylvania College of Straight Chiropractic. He relocated with his family to Bethlehem in 1981, where he opened Curry Family Chiropractic Center, dedicating the next 40 years of his life to helping others maintain their optimal spinal health. He was also a parishioner and a Eucharistic minister at Our Lady of Perpetual Help Catholic Church in Bethlehem.

Ron’s greatest passion in life was his family, including his beloved wife of 52 years Barbara and his children Hope and Chad. He also had a special place in his heart for his canine companions. He held a deep appreciation for classic cars, especially his 1967 Camaro convertible, which he enjoyed restoring and taking to local car shows. He curated an extensive train collection and enjoyed setting up displays and visiting train shows with friends. He loved spending time in the outdoors, hiking, biking, and kayaking. Most notably, he had a heart of gold, his kindness and generosity like a beacon of light for all those who had the privilege of knowing him.

He is survived by his wife Barbara A. Curry, his daughter Hope S. Lincoln and her husband Allen of Corbett, OR, his son Chad R. Curry and his wife Leslie of Easton, PA, his honorary grandchildren Lucca, Devon, and Kyra, his nieces Shannon and Ashley, his nephews Allan and Sean, and many loving friends and family members.

A memorial service will be held on Saturday, November 14, at Noon, in the Pearson Funeral Home, 1901 Linden Street, Bethlehem. Friends and family may call from 11:00 am until services.

In lieu of flowers, the family requests that a donation be made to the Alzheimer's Association , 399 Market St., Suite 102, Philadelphia, PA 19106.
