Mary Jo McDowell loving wife, mother, and friend passed away peacefully on February 11, 2019 in Prosper, TX.
Mary graduated from Grand Prairie High School in 1945 where she was one of only six cheerleaders in that day. Mary spent most of her life in Grand Prairie where she was a housewife, mother, and elder in the First Christian Church for many years. Mary was born October 8, 1927, the twelfth child of Erasmus Meredith Williams and Mary Wynn Williams of Grande Prairie and is preceded in death by her husband Jim McDowell. She is survived by a son James Hutchison of Arlington, TX, a daughter Jackie Ryan of Prosper TX, five grandchildren and seven great grandchildren all of whom loved her so very much. Mary is now home with our Lord and will be missed by all who knew her. She was the kindest, sweetest and gentlest spirit you have ever met. No one who met her could leave with a frown on their face. May the Lord bless and keep her in his loving hands for eternity.
