Curtis died of pancreatic cancer at home in Clarkston, Georgia, on November 3, 2022, at the age of 55.
After the Olmstead decision, Curtis began to live in the community. She had a professional aide and a 'micro board,' a group of people that help her to meet her goals. When asked about her life in 2014, she said, "Well, I make grits, eggs, and sausage in the morning and sweep the floor. I go out to eat sometimes. I take art classes. I draw pretty pictures and make money. I go out of town and sell me artwork. I go to church and pray to the Lord. I raise my voice high! In the summer I go to the pool and put my feet in the water. Maybe I’ll learn to swim someday. I been fishing. I seen a pig and a horse on a farm. I buy clothes and shoes. I have birthday parties. They a lot of fun. I’m not afraid of big dogs no more. I feel good about myself. My life a better life."
In addition to being an advocate for the rights of people with disabilities, Curtis worked as an artist using pastels and acrylic portraits. On June 20, 2011, Curtis met Barack Obama at the White House and gave him one of her paintings.
Along with Elaine Wilson, Curtis was the lead plaintiff in the Supreme Court of the United States case of Olmstead v. L.C. On June 22, 1999, the court held that the unjustified segregation of people with disabilities was an act of discrimination, as defined by the Americans with Disabilities Act. Justice Ruth Bader Ginsburg ruled that:
The Supreme Court case followed a 1995 federal court case brought by the Atlanta Legal Aid Society who filed the case against Tommy Olmstead, the commissioner of human services for the State of Georgia, demanding that he transfer Curtis out of an institution and into community-based care. At the time, Curtis was aged 26 years. The court held in favor of the Atlanta Legal Aid Society, but the state of Georgia appealed to the Supreme Court.
