Dalyce Kelley shares horrific details of the last time she saw her grandmother, Dalyce Curry, alive
Kelley, who worked as a part-time caregiver, shared a heart-wrenching account of the last time she saw her grandmother alive. According to her, she dropped Curry off at her house around midnight on Tuesday, unaware that the devastating Eaton Fire would soon ravage the area. At the time, Curry was exhausted, having spent the entire day at a local hospital.
Kelley recalled that the Eaton Fire had ignited just a few hours earlier, but she had no idea that it would spread so rapidly and have such catastrophic consequences. Tragically, her worst fears were realized when she received a text later that night informing her that the power had gone out at her house. Alarmed, Kelley rushed to check on her grandmother, but by the time she arrived at the neighborhood, it was too late as the fire had already spread, and Curry’s life was lost in the blaze.
