Dear J.O. & family,
What an amazing life Mabelee lived. She was a wonderful childhood & teenage friend.
We will be remembering you at this time of your loss and her gain.
God bless,

A dear, caring friend.

I am so blessed to have been able to know Mabelee. I have been a member of Travis Avenue for 12 years and have the privilege to be a part of J.O.'s class all these years. She was such a sweet soul.

We have appreciated our friends, Mabelee and J.O., through the years and across the miles. Missions service, her family and friends were Mabelee's passion. We are grateful for her good life.

Our prayers are with the family during this time. We honor the memory of Mabelee and her years of service in the Philippines and Southeast Asia.

Aunt Mabelee (as she was known to us MKs) was a phenomenal lady. Enjoyed her riding the bus with us to Faith Academy on Fridays to do the parent bulletin each week. Taught my Sunday school class at International Baptist Church and later in life babysat my kids when we visited my parents in Singapore. A great lady who impacted many lives.

Mabelee was such a special woman and a wonderful friend. I am so fortunate to have known and worked with her.

She was intensely private about her life, her health and her family. But as a family member I will say she guarded us all fiercely, and would have done anything for us. Even at the end, while her health was failing her, she was solving issues for others, and infinitely gracious. She leaves a big hole and I believe her inspiration and legacy to be one of perseverance, forgiveness and strength. Love you forever, mom. Till we see you again....
