Mary R. Stapleton

Deepest sympathy for the loss of a great mother, grandmother, aunt, sister, and friend. She was very generous with her time writing and responding to letters with news and encouragement. I didn't know how talented she was in making muppet style puppets. I'm grateful to own one now.

Mary was such an incredible woman. Always surprising me with cards filled with fun confetti inside on special dates and holidays. A woman with gifts galore that she always unselfishly shared. I was a recipient of a handmade puppet and I still have it! Thinking of her family at this time of loss. The memories you all must have will be a constant treasure to you for the rest of your lives. With love and Gods blessings to you all. Laurie

So sorry to hear of Mary's passing. She was such a driving force at Montavilla United Methodist Church when I attended church there in ensuring that as people aged they were remembered.

In loving memory of a wonderful person. We will love you and miss you always.

We all remember gifts and letters Aunt Mary sent to us over the years to recognize achievements or milestones. She seemed like she could live forever and certain not defied the odds at times. Thank you to her loving family for their wonderful care to help her stay as independent as possible in the last years.

I still have a puppet she made that was given to me in the 70´s. My children played with it and now my grandchildren do.

So sorry to see Mary´s obituary this morning. Mary was a wonderful friend to my mother, Viola Medd. She was loving and kind and took so much time to care for others. She will be missed.
