Mary Blevins Houchins

Today I'm thinking about you aunt Mary. I'm preparing to visit the Knoxville area as I would with you on many summer vacations. Seems like I'm like I'll be seeing you in just a few short days, I know that can't be for now, but it'll be possible when we all get to heaven. Praise God for that. I miss you lots. I'm gonna be doing lots of hiking as we always did. Wish Nancy could be different and go with me as we did in the past. Love you aunt Mary.

I lived next door to Mary for 62 years. I loved her as a child when she took me for my first ride on a hay rake at five years old. From that moment she was my new best friend, and over the years her kindness and generosity to me never wavered. She taught me by example how to relish and enjoy every moment, every person, every animal -- except the groundhogs and crows who stole from her garden! I got to be her hero a few times, eliminating groundhogs or providing crow carcasses for her...

It has been over a year since the passing of my lovely neighbor, Mary Houchins. I miss her every day, especially when I pass by her garden spot and expect to see her digging , with Patches, her dog, by her side.
Now she is in the arms of God and singing with the angels.

Nancy, I was so very sorry to hear about your mother. I will hold your family in my heart, and in my prayers. Love, Marilyn Ross Smith

Thinking of my classmates Nancy, Jerry, Jane in the loss of Nancy. I remember her smiling face and the amazing family she raised. God bless all of you and comfort as your mama joins her heavenly family. Pat Bardill Hinton

My prayers go out to the Houchins family. I am so sorry for your loss.

So sorry to hear the news of Mary's passing. Our thoughts and prayers are with her family and loved ones.

May God Bless your family during this time! What A Lady!! Please know the Egan family is thinking and praying for you all at this time.

Thank God for a child hood growing up around folks like your mother! What a lady! You folks are in our prayers!
