I was so saddened to learn of Mary-Katherine's death. She always made me feel so loved and special. I have visitied her at Richfield several times in the last 2 yers and she never changes, always the sweet, selfless lady I've know for 46 years. I always will treasure the memores of my childhood and how you always grew sweeter and lovlier every day of your life. Love, Your Neice , Patricia Hess

I first met Mrs. Hess as a young teenager, or maybe even younger, I just don’t remember. We all attended Calvary Baptist Church and then Bruce married Margaret when I was around 15. For 45 or so years I have known this wonderful lady and in all those years certain things about her remained constant – her sweet smile, her strong Christian faith, which I appreciated even more as I got older, her kindness, and her loving nature. I was her son-in-law’s sister, but she treated me as more than that and always made me feel a part of her family. I enjoyed going out to eat with all of them, especially Harbor Inn, having dessert with them, being in Disney World with them when Dawn got married, and so many other wonderful memories. Mrs. Hess isn’t suffering any longer and I’m sure she has that sweet, sweet smile for all those in Heaven with her. Those of us left on earth will miss her terribly, particularly Margaret & Bruce, David & Jane Ellen and Mike, but we all know she is rejoicing in Heaven and one of these days we will be with her again. My sincere condolences go out to the family. My thoughts and prayers will be with you all in the coming weeks and months. Love, Barbara Jean

Mrs. Hess,
I've always remembered how kind you were to my brother, sister, and me when we were children. You taught Sunday School at Calvary Baptist and you always had such a sweet welcoming smile. Years later when I visited my Aunt Gladys at Richfield you had that same sweet smile.
I have taught Sunday School myself over the years and many times I've wanted to quit. But I always see your face in the back of my mind and decide to keep going.
I know God was using you then just as he used you throughout your life.
And I believe that as you passed over into the presence of the Lord you were greeted with a sweet smile and "Well done good and faithful servant"
You will be missed!

Although I knew Mrs. Hess for just a short time she quickly became my "Granny". She was such an inspiration to me and I will always treasure the moments I sat beside her bed and listened to her Godly wisdom. She truly displayed the attributes of a Proverbs 31 woman in all that she said and did. She told me not long before she left this earth that if she is suffering here on earth with Him she knows that she will soon reign with Him, and I know that is just what she is doing now!

I am so sorry to learn of Mary Katherine's death. She was always a part of my childhood and I have many happy memories that include her. I am so glad that I had a visit with her last October and we were both able to reminese for a couple of hours. Her Christmas note to me was always special. She had such a talent for writing.
Love to all of you,
