Mary was preceded in death by 3 of her precious grandchildren, Mary Elizabeth Wilson, Kenny Wilson and Noah Heckert.
Mary loved her family and she devoted her life to them. She loved to turn her house into a home. She loved to work in the dirt, she had a green thumb and flowers seemed to bloom for her, even in the Texas heat. She also loved going to church every Sunday, she looked forward to it every week. She is now God’s angel making his gardens beautiful. She is loved and will be missed greatly by her family.
A special “thank you” to our Purple Angels of Hospice of Wichita Falls, who went above and beyond taking care of our loved one, especially Sara, who always made Mom beautiful.
Memorials are suggested to Hospice of Wichita Falls and First United Methodist Church of Iowa Park.
