A kind and caring woman who loved God and the church that she and her husband helped build and were founding members of, Word Alive Fellowship. She loved kids and was babysitting up to age 80. She once wrote her own Sunday school curriculum to teach the kids she loved about the God she loved more than anything. A truly amazing woman who loved completely. She would sing and dance with the utmost joy in her heart. A beautiful lady with a beautiful heart she will be missed by her family, her church family and all those who were lucky enough to know her. Go with God and be blessed eternally, good and faithful servant, your duty on earth is done.
Mary will be laid to rest June 19th, 2025 at the Beaver-Union Cemetery in Beaver, Ohio. There will be a small grave-side service for family and friends. And a celebration of life will be announced at a later date.
