Let the family know you care by sharing this tribute
Mary Elizabeth Medlock (nee Nolte), 67, of Holliday Missouri, passed away on January 2, 2022.
Mary was born on October 20, 1954, to Robert C. Nolte and Patricia K. Nolte in St. Louis, Missouri. After graduating from Cor Jesu Academy in 1973, she went on to work at the family-owned electrical contracting business until 2001 and continued to work in the industry until her retirement in 2012.
In 1984, she met James L Medlock Sr., and they wed in 1985. They went on to have three children, Patty, James, and Katie. Mary was a dedicated mom to her kids; family came first above all else, a value she instilled in all those around her. The hole left by her absence is impossible to fill.
Mary was preceded in death by her father Robert C. Nolte, mother Patricia K. Nolte, father-in-law John L. Medlock, and mother-in-law Joyce N. Medlock.
She is survived by her husband James L. Medlock, Sr. of Holliday, MO, daughter Patty Beahan (Sean) of Columbia, MO, son James L. Medlock Jr. (Sarah) of Shelbina, MO, daughter Katie Waltemath (Buddy) of House Springs MO, stepson, Jeremy Medlock (Crystal) and her grandchildren, her brother Robert P. Nolte (Joann), along with many nieces, nephews, and friends.
In lieu of flowers, please consider a donation in Mary’s name to National Alliance on Mental Illness (NAMI) donate.nami.org. No funeral or memorial service is immediately planned. The family will notify loved ones in the future if a service is scheduled.

So sorry for your loss Mary was a great lady every time I talk with her so friendly My condolence to Jim and your family
Katie and family. We are so sorry to hear of your Mom’s passing. She was a sweet lady. Always would talk to us at Everett’s parties. She will be missed. Prayers are with you all during this difficult time.??
Sending our heart filled sympathy for your loss of your mother. We will keep you in our thoughts and prayers .
Mary and I had lots of good times when we were at the Landing and she and her family had a condo there. We became good friends. Mary was a great person, who you never had to wonder what was on her mind, just ask her and she was glad to tell you. She loved her family and her friends. She will be missed dearly.
I was saddened to hear of Marys passing. I have many fond memories of Christmas & Easter brunch at grandma & grandpa Pats with the cooking prepared by grandma & Mary. Treasure your memories and she’ll always be with you all.
We are so sorry for your loss. Keeping you in our thoughts and prayers.
May you find peace in your memories, comfort in your unconditional love for family and strength knowing that your mom is always with you. Your family is in our thoughts and prayers. I miss hearing her voice and her stories. She always made me laugh.
How blessed I was to have known her. She was a special friend to me. I will carry her in my heart always. Many prayers to Sparky, Patty, Katie and little Jimmy. She loved you all so very much. Moms never really leave us, they become our Angels.
Mary’s smile and laughter were infectious. She was kind, compassionate, tenacious, and strong. She loved her family tremendously and would light up when talking about her loved ones (especially her grandchildren). To those grieving, may God give you strength and comfort though this difficult time. Godspeed, Mary. Fly high.
Please accept our condolences on the passing of our cousin (who we called MaryBeth growing up), Wife, Mother, Grandmother, and Friend. We grew up with Mary and her Brother so our memories take us way back. We always had a great time spending holiday dinners, and always 4th of July at Iron Mountain Lake. Mary and I had recently reconnected via Facebook where I saw her beautiful family. As is life, wish we hadn’t lost touch or had communicated more. I am saddened by her loss but take comfort as she joins a lot of family who welcomes her home. May memories ease your pain yet bring you warmth and joy for having her in your life.
I just saw that Mary had passed. I went to grade school with Mary, and we are currently planning our 50th reunion from Cor Jesu. So many of us hoped to reconnect with Mary. It sounds like she had a good life and was blessed with a loving family. On behalf of the CJA class of 1973, please accept our deepest sympathies for your loss.
