In February, 1955, Mary accepted Jesus Christ as her personal Lord and Savior. He forgave her sins and gave her a new, abundant, eternal life with Him in Heaven.

Cheri,
Mary raised a beautiful daughter that reflected everything good that Mary was.
She was quit a gal.
Bruce and I remember your mom as an energetic, cordial, and devoutly Christian lady.
We have you in our prayers.
Love to you.
Cheri: I have wonderful memories of your Mom – being a wonderful hostess the few times we visited your home; fixing those special cookies just for Tim every Christmas (He so looked forward to them!); and her kind and helpful demeanor when I needed information at KUMC. I think she made everyone she met feel welcomed and special. The world is a better place because she was in it. I’m praying for peace and comfort for you and your extended family.
Mary was a humble person who had a huge impact on so many people. I count myself very blessed to have been her friend. My prayers go out to Cheri, Bill and Angie for peace and contentment in knowing Mary is at home with Jesus! Love to you all!
One of the true loving christians that convinced me to be baptized in the church I grew up in and will always remain in my heart.
