Everyone loved Mary!  She was such a loving and giving person.  One of the first people we met when we moved to Texas 31 years ago. She has gone home to rest, but left many good memories behind.  We are thinking of her family and the loss you are feeling now.  But rejoicing in her love for the spirit of God.

Jenny,  

Our prayers are with you and your family during this time.  May God continue to wrap His arms around you.  

Much love,

Audrey & John Bishop

We will miss Aunt Mary, such a sweet lady.  Loved her love of life and caring spirit and all the Christmas cards we exchanged.  I know she's having a very happy Heavenly reunion and we'll see her again.

Our Sissy was a dear sweet soul. She will be dearly missed. Some of my greatest memories are of summer trips to Texas for a visit, big family reunions and "Sissy rolls" (which was just white bread, but everything always tasted better at Sis's). Her contagious smile and laugh and her quick wit and sense of humor were just a few things I loved about her most. I will miss you Sissy. May you rest in peace and find the arms of your Jirrel waiting for you.

I met Mary and Jirrel when Jenny and I became friends in high school.  They welcomed me to their home as if I were their own daughter.  I always had a wonderful time when I was with them.  Mary was such a kind, fun and positive force. She and the memories of how she touched our lives will never be forgotten.

We enjoyed being with Mary through the years!   She was always soft spoken and caring.  We couldn't have wanted a better sister-n-law.  We will miss Mary very much!   Sorry we are not able in body to be at the funeral, but in thoughts we will be there. Sending our love, Doris and Wilma.

Aunt Mary you will be so missed. But I know your reunion with Uncle Jirrel must have been awsome.  I will always remember your kindness and genuine love.  Most of all your wonderful birthday cards you always sent me.  Love Janet Goza

Aunt Mary will be greatly missed.  You could always rely on her to send you a birthday card...she might not have remembered the day, but she knew the month!  We'll miss getting those cards each year.  Randy, Jenny Lynn, and the rest of the family...you are in our thoughts and prayers.  Mary is singing in heaven now :)

Mr & Mrs Blackwell was the nicest people on Warder Way. They was the best caring neighbors we ever had. Really go to know them when some one knocked down the tree in their yard while they was away. Gloria and Pete cut the tree up and had the city help. Our neighbor Dan and Kathy came over and helped. We will miss our old friends. Glad they are together and happy in a better place. We will see you again when we get to Heaven.
yours truly

Pete & Gloria Estes

A wonderful sister in law always thinking of others! She and Robert J are finally together again! Love Barbara Farmer!

Mary had a beautiful spirit. My family had wonderful fellowship with her for many years. I will always value those days.

Randy and family, My prayers are with you as you deal with the loss of your Mother. God has taken her by the hand and led her to a new life that is pain free and full of glory. She will always be in your hearts...

A beautiful person. When I met her in 1974 she had a joy for life that was so plain to see. Some years later she had a joy like no other joy this world could ever give when she started serving the Lord. We all entered into this joy with her.

Jenny Lynn you were so good to dear Mary. 
She will be missed by all. She always told us what she had enjoyed reading in her Bible and was faithful to be by her husbands side. 
Mary gave me my first job at Sears!! And she sent cards to all!!!  Love to all the family
Leroy and Sara

Such a beautiful spirit who touched so many lives by her presence and her family.  The Angels rejoice to have her home.

Some of my fondest childhood memories are of times spent with the Blackwells.  Sis always treated me like family.  What a beautiful person inside and out and such a testament to all who knew her.

John 16:22 So also you have sorrow now, but I will see you again, and your hearts will rejoice, and no one will take your joy from you.
Our thoughts & prayers are with the Blackwell family

John 16:22- "So also you have sorrow now, but I will see you again, and your hearts will rejoice, and no one will take your joy from you".
Our thoughts & prayers are with the Blackwell family.

My Dearest Aunt SIssy,
I will miss you so much, but will treasure all the memories I have of visits to see you, Sunday lunches the way you made me laugh and how you always said it was a woman's prerogative to cry whenever she wanted to. 
Oh and homemade Sissy rolls, which was a loaf of bread. 
Love
Angi (A1) and family
