Mamie Ethel Scrivener (Buffalo)'s Obituary
Mamie Ethel Scrivener, daughter of William Lacy and Bessie (Guthrie) Wise, was born March 10, 1923 at Corkery, MO. She departed this life on March 3, 2019, at Colonial Springs Healthcare Center in Buffalo, MO.
As a child she would spend time with her grandparents, Mandy and Jerry Wise. She attended grade school at a one room schoolhouse. When not at her grandparents or in school, Mamie helped her mother care for her brothers and sisters. Later in her teenage years she met and married Cecil Scrivener, on September 17th, 1939. To this union nine children were born.
Early in their marriage they lived a few years in the state of Washington. After returning to Missouri they eventually made their home near Plad and Bennett Springs.
While raising their family, Mamie worked at Rice Stix and H.D. Lee, in Lebanon, for a couple of years. Mamie enjoyed sewing clothes and making quilts for her family. Taking care of the garden, growing flowers and spending time with family, especially her grandkids. She would make cards every year for her grandkid’s birthdays, enjoyed board games with them and making Christmas candy and cookies.
When Cecil died suddenly in 1974, Mamie continued raising the family and taking care of the home.
Mamie read her bible every day. No matter what happened throughout her life her faith in God helped her to stay positive. Even after she suffered a stroke in her early 60’s. Mamie’s faith never faltered. She attended Bailey Chapel Freewill Baptist Church well over 30 years, rarely missing a Sunday service. She continued to read her bible and weekly Sunday school lessons at home after she could no longer attend because of health reasons.
She was a devoted wife, mother, grandmother, and friend. She will be missed by everyone who knew her.
