Mary Ruth Tobin

She was born to the late Charles and Mary (nee Stuart) Dartt on March 26, 1938, in East St. Louis, Illinois. She married Clyde D. Tobin and he survives.

Mary worked as a Secretary at Northern Mutual and was a homemaker most of her life. Mary did what the Lord asks of us by feeding the hungry and housing the homeless. Her laughter was infectious. She was a true Cardinal baseball fan. She loved yard work and gardening and kept her yard pristine. Baking, sewing, quilting, crocheting gifts for her family came straight from her heart.

She was preceded in death by her parents, son, Michael Hart and son-in-law, Neil Fulton.

She is survived by her children: Beverly Fulton, David (Alicha) Tobin, Karen (Bryan) Wicklein, Kimberly (Gary) Schreder, and Michael C. Hart; grandchildren: Jennifer Johnson, James Fulton, Amy (Gary) Reynolds, Anna (Aaron) Bauer, Adam (Casi) Tobin, Henry (Ashley) Wicklein, Carolyn (Samuel) Rothwell, Samuel (Taylor) Wicklein, Sara Blanton (Giovanni), Magie (James) Yarber, Katie (Steve) Shaw; great-grandchildren: Victoria, Samuel Fulton, Kyliegh, Jeremy, Blake Johnson, Kaylin Cook, Aden Blanquart, Audrey Bauer, Parker, Paityn Tobin, Grace Aspen, Henry, Stetson Wicklein, Elaina Jo, Sammy Lee Rothwell, Lewiston, Callahan, Loraine Wicklein, Madison Giesegh, Ivan, Juliette, Abel Flores, Lilly, and John Wayne Yarber; sister: Lucy E.
