Mary (Miss Poopsie) was loved and adored by all who knew her. Her beautiful smile would light up a room and her sweet and quiet personality would immediately draw people to her. Her family was her life and she was its inspiration because her love and compassion knew no bounds. Her kind words and assurances brought strength and comfort to all based on her deep faith in our Lord which filled her with courage and peace. Her pure heart and spirit continues to shine in all who knew and cherished her. As her family and friends mourn, they will be uplifted by the faith she lived through daily example all of her life.  The Heavens are rejoicing in welcoming their Child, Mother, Wife and Friend home wrapped in eternal love and Christ’s peace.
