Respecting her, Sir Walter Scott wrote to his sister-in-law, Mrs. Thomas Scott: "Poor Aunt Curie died like a Roman, or rather like one of the Sandyknowe bairns, the most stoical race I ever knew. She turned every one out of the room, and drew her last breath alone."
Her remains were interred in the Abbey of Kelso."
