Dalyce, who was known as Momma D to her family, appeared in the likes of The Blues Brothers, The Ten Commandments and Lady Sings the Blues over the years.
Her granddaughter had dropped her off to her home at midnight on Tuesday after a long day of hospital appointments, and she left for the evening, but sadly it was confirmed the 95-year-old passed away.
When she woke up in the morning, Kelley saw a text that the power had gone out in her grandmother’s house and headed over to the Altadeana area. Tragically, an officer told her: "I’m sorry your grandmother’s property is gone. It totally burned down."
"It was total devastation. Everything was gone except her blue Cadillac," she recalled. However, it has now sadly been confirmed that her grandmother has died.
On Sunday, when the search was still underway, Kelley told Eyewitness News she was "still praying for a miracle". She said: "Honestly we don’t feel very hopeful that she’s still here with us."
Whilst the search was still on for Dalyce Curry, her granddaughter had paid tribute to her. She told KABC: "Our souls are aching; our hearts are broken. She loved Altadena. There is no one who loved that city more than my grandmother. She said she had yet began to live, so I knew she would just be here beyond 100. She still wanted to date, she wanted to find a husband.”
Loree Beamer-Wilkinson added: "She just loved life, and at 95 she was still very active. She looked beautiful – she took really good care of herself, she took great pride in who she was and who she represented — and she was an amazing grandmother. I felt so privileged to know this woman and to have her as my grandmother."
