Mary Elizabeth Pope

Devoted Mother, Daughter,
Sister and Friend

We celebrate the life, love and friendship of Mary Elizabeth Pope 31 years old, who passed away suddenly and unexpectedly on January 2, 2014 at Hoag Hospital in the ICU Unit with her family by her side. Mary was born on May 16, 1982, in Orange, CA, to Lyle and Theresa Pope. Mary also has two beautiful sisters Shannon and Kellie, brother John, and with two brothers-in-law Dennis Morris and Michael Guerrero. In 2000 Mary graduated from Lakewood High School, and then continued on to work for Western Pottery in customer service. Mary is survived by her two sons, Travis Ray Pope 6 years old and River Jax Pope 1-year-old. The love for her amazing boys was beautiful and pure. Her devotion as a mother was something breathtaking to witness, she was a doting and inspiring mother. Mary had a zest for life, a laugh that could lift your spirits, and a smile that could light up a room. She was a loyal person and was loved by all who were blessed to have known her. Mary loved spending time on the river vacationing with her family, she loved spending time with her children, family and friends. Mary will be missed by her family, friends and all who has knew her. The family has requested that in lieu of flowers, please make a donation for Mary's sons Travis & River to www.youcaring.com search "Pope Boys". A celebration of Mary's wonderful life will be held on Saturday, January 11, 2014 at 11:00am at Cypress Church, 6143 Ball Rd., Cypress, CA 90630.

I've known Mary since 2004. She was my supervisor. I have nothing but fun memories of her. She introduced me to tequila and margaritas for the first time. She and I had breakfast burritos almost every morning while working together. I will cherish all the fun times we had. I'll see you again one day Mary-Lou!!!

What can I add to what has been written about Mary this week. Mary was a loving devoted mother and friend to everyone. She had so much positive energy and a beautiful personality. She was a thoughtful sister, niece, aunt and friend. She loved her family and was always taking her nephews to some new exciting place and made it so much fun for them. She will be missed. words cannot express the sadness at this loss.
