Ms. Agnes Love, age 77, passed away peacefully Wednesday, August 3, 2023, at Emory Midtown Atlanta holding her daughter's hand. She was born in Erie, Pennsylvania, on March 9, 1946, the daughter of the late Bernard “Grand Dad” Curry and the late Laura Lee “NaMa” Carlise.
Besides her parents, she was preceded in death by a daughter, Leslie Jeeter-Curry; two sons, Jermaine Jeeter and Michael Woodard; two sisters, Beverly Catledge and Ajeenah Sharif; brother, Stanley Curry; and two grandsons, Paul James Curry and Bernard Jeeter, Jr.
Ms. Love is survived by her beloved son, Bernard Jeeter, his wife Jennifer, and her cherished daughter, Bobbie Jeeter-Riley. In addition, she is survived by her siblings Tony Ponder, Steve Ponder, Stafford Curry, Brian Curry, Odessa Ponder, Rosland “Rocky” White, her husband Lenny, and Gwenora Dykes.
She is further survived by: grandchildren - Christina Curry, Jacqueline Jeeter, and Donovan Riley, and three grandchildren who were particularly special to her as she raised them from a very young age - Crystal Martinez-Johnson, Nadia Rivera, and Antonio Jeeter; great-grandchildren - Christopher Curry, Brody Sayles, River-Royce Jeeter, Jayden Torres, Yerimiyah Johnson, Abiyah Johnson, Nessiah Johnson, Jesse Lopez, Je’Lani Jeeter, Jha’Bez Jeeter, Dyonna Rivera, DaNiya Rivera, and TaNyla Cook; and great-great-granddaughter Milani Cooley. She will also be missed by a host of nieces and nephews.
She grew up in Erie and was employed as a Senior Lab Technician at Lord Corporation for 30 years. Upon her retirement in 2006, she moved to Atlanta, Georgia. In her spare time, she loved to sing loudly off-key to the oldies, especially the Temptations. She will be fondly remembered for her witty sense of humor and could make anyone laugh.
Agnes Love, our dearly loved mother, grandmother, sister, auntie, and friend, will certainly be missed. We can rest assured that the hope she believed in will come to be. The resurrection Jesus promised will be fulfilled surely and truly. (John 5:28, 29).
