Mary was a devoted member of Maple Grove Church for many decades and lived a life filled with unwavering faith and love for the Lord. She leaves behind a legacy of faith that was passed on to her children. She will be deeply missed, but her spirit will live on through the lives she enriched.

A graveside service will be held 1:00 pm on Wednesday afternoon November 22 in the Twin Township Cemetery, Bourneville; followed immediately by a celebration of her life at the Maple Grove Church.

It was evident to those around Mary that she fought the good fight, finished the race, and kept the faith. Now she wears the crown of righteousness, which the Lord, the righteous Judge, awarded her on that day—and not only to her, but also to all who long for His appearing. (2 Tim. 4:7-8)
