Mary McCarty Obituary
Mary Lou McCarty (Looysen-Dickenson)
Mary Lou was born October 20, 1921 in Seattle, WA. She was the only child of Dr. Kenneth and Pearle Holtz, co-founder of the Poly Clinic in Seattle, WA.
She was preceded in death by three husbands, Wayne Looysen, Charles Dickenson, the true "Love of her Life" Harper McCarty, whom she married at the age of 64; and a daughter, Bonnie Witte.
She is survived by her children Sharon (Gayle) Kindred, Robert (Desiree) Dickenson, Merril (Lois) McCarty, Cheryl (Ralph) Davis, Norma Neimi and Denny McCarty; along with many grandchildren; and great-grandchildren.
A special thank you to all the staff at the Marysville Care Center for their loving care of our mother. Heartfelt thanks to Kristi, her caregiver, who loved and cared for her with such tenderness during her months there. Mother referred to her as Angel!
There will be a private family committal.
If you wish, donations in her name may be made to Bethany Christian Assembly, 2715 Everett Ave. Everett, WA. 98201.
