On June 1, 1948, Mary was united in marriage to Charles Davis. They were together for nearly fifty years until his passing in May of 1998.
Mary is preceded in death by her loving husband, Charles; her parents; a son, David Davis; and a sister, Pat Andresen.
Mary is survived by her three loving daughters, Arlene Williams of Lebanon, Missouri, Carol Snyder of California, and Debbie Goff and her husband Gregg, of Hartville, Missouri; nine grandchildren, Linda Brown, Sheila Brown, Debbie Hellbusch and her husband Jason, Sheri Wright, Steven Snyder, Chris Wilson, Amanda Hughes and her husband Jordan, Allan Goff and his wife Kristina; twelve great-grandchildren, Morgan Wilson, Britney Duran, Michael Snyder, Ricky Brown, Mitchell Snyder, Chad Snyder, Jase, Jesse, and Anna Hughes, Kaitlynn Goff, Beau and Presley Hellbusch; four great-great-grandchildren, Breonna Duran, Arianna Duran, Stella Snyder, Quentin Snyder; other relatives and many caring friends.
Mary was born in Corpus Christi, Texas and was raised in San Antonio. When she came of age she moved to Rosemund, California where she met and fell in love with Charles. The two were married and started a farm in Lancaster, California where they raised chickens and other small livestock. In 1993, Mary and Charles moved to Hartville with their kids and stayed here.
Mary accepted Christ at an early age and was baptized at the Beacon Hills Baptist Church in San Antonio, Texas. She kept her faith and knew her Lord very well.
Mary was a mom before anything, but whenever she got breaks she enjoyed either sitting down at the piano or picking up her guitar. However, family always came first in her life and she loved hers very much. She was a loving wife, mother, grandmother, great-grandmother, great-great-grandmother, sister, and dear friend. We celebrate her wonderful life and will always cherish the many happy memories she helped create.
