With great sorrow, we announce the passing of Amaya Curley, a dedicated member of the United States Navy and a beloved resident of Page, Arizona. Amaya served her nation with commitment and integrity, embodying the values of honor, courage, and dedication throughout her time in San Diego, California.
Her sudden passing has brought profound grief to her family, her shipmates, and her community. Amaya was admired not only for her professionalism and discipline, but also for her compassion, humility, and the quiet leadership she offered those around her. Her life reflected both service and heart, leaving a legacy that will not be forgotten.
This week, Amaya was brought home aboard an Angel Flight, a solemn reminder of her sacrifice and the high regard in which she was held. The Curley family extends sincere appreciation to American Airlines, Phoenix Sky Harbor personnel, Phoenix Police Department, and Phoenix Airport Fire, whose support ensured her dignified return to Arizona.
As her family prepares for her final services later this week, they ask for prayers and privacy during this difficult time.
Fair winds and following seas, Sailor.
Your service and your sacrifice will be honored forever.
