It was always a joy to bring Mary Martha and her sister, Eva, to Sunday worship services at Bethany.  The sisters had an incredible bond and one was lost without the other.  When Eva passed away, we all knew Mary Martha would not be with us at Bethany much longer.  On the Sundays she did come to service  without Eva, she still sang every hymn, word for word, with passion and love for her Lord!  My life has been enriched to have known Mary Martha.

When I was a child at the St. Paris UMC I remember her every year hosting a Christmas Open House in the parsonage. She spent weeks baking and decorating the most beautiful and tasty Christmas cookies. She was such a lovely person.


I was a young pastor in Lima 40+ years ago, when Marvin was serving Lima:First.  The Dowsons were always so gracious.  After long and good lives, now both the Dowsons are feasting at the Heavenly Banquet.  Blest be the tie.
