"Babs" Curran, of New Bloomfield, formerly of Woburn, MA, died peacefully on December 30, 2019 in Rockport. MA.

It was there she impacted so many lives and made lasting friendships. She was a mentor to many. After her retirement in 1998, Babs moved to New Bloomfield where she and her best friend Annette Mullen, started a sheep farm. She loved being surrounded by nature and animals. She opened several "Curves For Women", one still remains, now known as "All About Your Fitness." Babs was an inspiration to many and easily created community around her. She was a talented woman and she loved to craft and garden. She worked hard to make her hilltop gardens a thing of beauty. She was a member of various quilting guilds and also enjoyed sewing, knitting and crocheting. She also enjoyed her work as a board of Duncannon Senior Citizens.
