Mary Elizabeth Curtis died on her birthday in 2026, according to a September 24 report by the Lehi Free Press. Her death resulted from complications from injuries she sustained in an auto accident on February 6, 2026, at 850 East State Street in Lehi.
Following the February accident, Curtis walked with an undetected broken hip for nearly seven weeks, which led to a downward spiral until her passing. She was married to Danny Lee Curtis on July 1, 1972, and the couple was later sealed in the Salt Lake Temple on their third anniversary. They had two children, Adam J. Curtis and Elizabeth Anne Curtis.
Curtis was a long-time employee of the Alpine School District for over 30 years, serving as a playground supervisor, teacher, and clerical worker, including 20 years at Lehi High School. Additionally, she worked for nearly 40 years at Broadbent’s General Store on 100 East in Lehi, at the location where the Lehi Police Department now stands.
A faithful member of the Church of Jesus Christ of Latter-day Saints, Curtis held various callings, including 50 years in the nursery and serving as a stake and ward Young Women’s camp director. She also led fourth-year girls on overnight backpacking experiences for many years.
Curtis was preceded in death by her father, Eugene Bone, and her sister, Shelly Peterson. She is survived by her husband, Danny, her children, Adam (Marilee) Curtis and Elizabeth (Heath) Webb, her mother, Patricia Bone, sister Kaye Lynn Curtis, and brother Douglas Ray Bone. She is also survived by four grandchildren: Nathan Webb, Hannah Curtis, Ellie Webb, and Riley Curtis.
Services are scheduled for Tuesday, September 22, 2026, at 11:00 am at the Gateway Stake Center of the Church of Jesus Christ of Latter-day Saints, located at 2150 North Pointe Meadows Drive, Lehi, Utah. Viewings were held Monday, September 21, 2026, at Wing Mortuary, 118 East Main, Lehi, Utah, and Tuesday, September 22, 2026, at the church. The family requested that attendees wear crazy socks to honor her legacy.
