Mary Ann Kaspar

Mary Ann Kaspar entered the presence of her Lord on November 12, 2024. Mary Ann was born in Kingsport, Tennessee on November 5, 1938, to Lloyd and Stacey Watkins. She was predeceased by her parents, her brother, Jack Watkins, her sister, Debbie Watkins Smith, and her husband of 42 years, Jim Kaspar.

Mary Ann had two daughters, Cindy Kaspar Clements (Mark) and Christy Kaspar Hand (Brian) and five grandchildren — Ellen Clements Mason, Janice Clements, Grace, Daniel, and Elisabeth Hand.

At an early age, Mary Ann came to faith in Christ, and the goal of her life was to live in such a way that she glorified Him in all that she did.

After graduating from Bob Jones University, she worked as a civilian in Washington, D.C. for Army Map Services, where she met Jim, who was an engineer in the Army. They lived most of their adult life in the suburbs of Chicago. Mary Ann was an editorial assistant at Regular Baptist Press for many years and also served in various ministries at the churches she attended. Her favorite job was being a mom and grandma.

The family will receive visitors at Mackey Funerals and Cremations at Woodlawn Memorial on Sunday afternoon from 1:30-2:45 p.m. followed by a graveside service at 3:00 p.m. in Woodlawn Memorial Park.

In lieu of flowers, donations can be made to Bob Jones University to the Beneth Jones Scholarship fund.
