She is survived by Charles, her loving and faithful husband of 69 years, daughter Nancy (Frank) Stockman of Fayette, Iowa, son Terry (Jeanne) Stephens of Overland Park, Kansas, 8 grandchildren, 9 great-grandchildren, a very special sister-in-law and many nieces and nephews.

Mary had a big heart and was cherished by her family. She will be missed.
I thank God that you and Charles are together again. This time it will be for eternity. May you forever live in Heaven with your Lord. I will miss knowing you are not here, but rejoice in the knowledge that you are home.
