Mary was a hard worker and took pride in a well-done job and passed that on to her girls. Though introverted, she showed her love in her own way to her Family and Friends.
Mary had four girls Tina Starks, Natasha Syrko, Sharmae Erickson, and Wendy Wickner. She was tiny at 5 ft tall but very protective; as a single mother, she did the best she could and made us the strong women we are today. We will miss her so much but know she is with the Lord. "She may be gone from our sight, but she will never be gone from our hearts."
She is survived by 9 grand-children and 2 great-grandchildren, and by her Uncle Jerry Schoonover, nieces and nephews, and many cousins. Mary was preceded in death by 1 great grand-child,2 brothers Jim and John Schoonover, and both of her parents.
She passed away in her sleep on October 15, 2021. Her firm belief in Jesus Christ as her Lord and Savior gave her comfort and, ultimately peace.
Mary will be fondly remembered as a loving mother, grandmother, great grandmother, sister, aunt, and friend.
It broke our hearts to lose you, but you didn't go alone, for part of us went with you the day God called you home.
Rest in peace, Gigi.
God looked around his garden
And found an empty place
He then looked down upon the earth
And saw your tired face
He put his arms around you
And lifted you to rest.
God's garden must be beautiful,
He always takes the best.
He knew that you were suffering
He knew you were in pain
He knew that you would never
Get well on earth again.
He saw the road was getting rough
And the hills were hard to climb.
So he closed your weary eyelids
And said, "Peace be thine".
It broke our hearts to lose you
But you didn't go alone.
For part of us went with you
The day God called you home.
