Mary C Osborne

Mary Camden Osborne was born in Jeffrey, West Virginia on September 28, 1929. Mary grew up in her modest small town where she learned good family values, a quality that would serve her well throughout her life. Mary met her first love, Dell Mcallister and married at 18. She was married to Dell and enjoyed life with him until he passed in the mid 1960’s. In her 30’s she moved to Cleveland Ohio and married the second love of her life, Charlie Osborne. Mary was accepted into her new family with open arms and lots of love by Charlie and his daughters. During her working life she was a receptionist for a blood bank where she made many friends and touched many lives with her friendly demeanor. After retirement she and her husband Charlie moved from Parma, Ohio to Seminole Florida in 1997. When Mary settled into her new Florida lifestyle she enjoyed quilting and everyone in the family was lucky enough to receive some of her gorgeous quilts. When she cooked she did it with love and everything she cooked was wonderful, but the children’s favorite meals were biscuits and gravy and her chicken and homemade dumplings. Mary also was very active in her church touching the lives of everyone she met. She also loved to spoil her toy poodle named “Precious” whom will miss her greatly. Mary passed away on July 18, 2013. She will be missed as a mother, friend and fine example of an elegant Christian woman. She is predeceased by her first husband Dell Mcallister, her second husband of 45 years Charlie Osborne, her sister Irene Beckner and her parents: Hawk Napier and Edna Napier (Atkins). She is survived by 2 daughters: Peggy Osborne and Ellen (Terry) Reppa and children Matthew and Remi Wichert, 3 brothers: Ronald, Hawk and John Napier, 2 sisters: Delores Daniels and E. JoAnn Keenan. Grandchildren: Sgt. Major Frank (Veronica) Lauer and son Massimo, Paul (Dawn) Ballachino & children Camden and Chloe, Shawn (Kelley) Lauer and sons Connor, Hunter, Gaige and Blake and numerous nieces and nephews. A visitation is planned for Friday July 26, 2013 at Moss Feaster Serenity Gardens at 5 pm.
