Mary loved singing and this activity gave her much joy. She was also an accomplished painter. Her children cherish her paintings.

She loved studying her Bible. She attended Ballard Baptist and Kirkland Baptist churches where she enjoyed singing in the choir.

Mary worked as a homemaker and a sales lady. She also worked very hard at being a mom to all of us.

We will miss you mom and we love you so very much. You will remain in our hearts and we will meet you soon in your heavenly home.

Thanks for being our mom and thank you for teaching us the love of our Heavenly Father and his Word. “For thou art my hope, O Lord God: thou art my trust from my youth.” Psalms 71:5

Love you forever,

Your family.
