As a member of the First Pentecostal Church since 1965, Mary and Wayne opened Bethel Kiddie Korral (BKK) with a start-up budget of $100. Mary was the director of BKK for over 10 years and built a thriving daycare that continues to operate today. She and her husband, Wayne, served as the church accounting team for 25 years. Mary was an avid learner with an artistic bent, which she displayed in her oil paintings, handmade china dolls, ceramics, scrap books and her Farmville farm. She loved life, loved God, loved traveling and most of all loved Wayne and her kids and grandkids! Mary will be sorely missed by her husband of 60 years, Joel Wayne Lazenby; by her children and their spouses, Sharon Gunther, Mel Lazenby and David Lazenby; and by her 4 grandchildren, 9 great grandchildren; and a host of family and friends. Visitation will be at 11:00 a.m. followed with a service at 1:00 p.m., at the First Pentecostal Church, 1418 W. Columbus St. on Thursday, Sept. 16th. www.bakersfield.com/obits
