I will always remember Sister Nash as a stead fast Christian who was always there to help others in need. She was hard working, reliable and had a kind and loving heart. She also raised amazing children.

I consider Mary my friend of many years. I was blessed by the sparkle in her eyes every week as I brought her noon time meal. She was usually busy reading, or finishing up her crossword puzzle--always in her quest for learning more about life. Even in one of my last visits with her, she wanted updates on my family news. That is what made Mary so endearing. Her caring family, especially daughter Phyllis, is a testament to Mary's faith and love. Mary, you will be missed. Rest in peace--you've earned it

To the family of Ms. Mary L. Nash. I am so sorry for your loss. Ms. Nash was blessed with 98 years of special mightiness. (Psalms 90:10) May your hearts be filled with joyful memories of time spent with her as you remember a life well lived. May the Hearer of Prayer bring you strength and peace in your time of sorrow.

Mary Nash....undoubtedly one of the most "unforgetable" people I've ever known. I met her first in January, 2001 when Phyllis introduced me as her fiance. As I recall her first greeting to me reflected her concern for her daughter's welfare in that she said she was glad there was now someone to look after Phyllis when she was gone. Mom was a practical person and never one for waste. When we remodeled the kitchen a few years back she couldn't understand why Phyllis wanted to replace the stainless steel sink and drainboard that had served so well for 50 plus years. But then she thought I cut the grass too often too. What a thrifty gal when it came spending on her self, but generous to others never concerned about being exploited. Mom, seemed to successfully side step a judgmental spirit at all times and in every situation but was of an understanding heart and gracious counsel to all who sought her wisdom and opinion. I will always fondly remember her in her place by the bow-window in the corner of the living room, early morning sunshine filtering through the lace curtains falling softly on silvery white hair....her doing her morning crossword puzzle or nodding off in contentment, while her cat "Frisky" dozed on her lap. Beyond question Mom....was the best mother-in-law a man could have. 'Love you Mom...and will always miss you until we meet again at the feet of Jesus. Ken
