She was a member of Greater Barbour’s Chapel Baptist church, working in the youth ministry & singing in the choir. Moranda was a member of St. John, Houston, Texas. Moranda loved helping people, full of life, and always willing to help others. She was the life of the party, loved fishing and the holidays (i.e. Thanksgiving, Christmas, and New Year’s). She is preceded in death by her mother, Elnora Hogan – Ellis, fathers, Joseph Curette Sr. & Lawrence Murray, grandmothers, grandfathers, an uncle and an aunt.
