Mary DUMONT Obituary

Published by TBO.com on Jul. 3, 2012.
DUMONT, Mary Christie Hamilton "Butchie", died at home, surr-ounded by her loving family on July 1, 2012. Born in Abb-eville, Georgia, on January 17, 1920, Butchie moved to West Palm Beach at age two, where she grew up the second youngest of seven Hamilton children. While working as a secretary at Morrison Field in West Palm Beach, Butchie met the love of her life, the handsome Major George Dumont. George and Mary married in 1947 and settled in Sebring, where George and his partners established the Eight Air Depot at Hendricks Field. Butchie and George raised their six children in Sebring in a home filled with laughter and love. Butchie and her family shared a lifetime of aviation which included numerous memorable trips in family airplanes to destinations around the U.S. and Canada. Butchie was preceded in death by her beloved husband, "Big Daddy"; son, Johnny; and grandson, Beau Rapp. She is survived by her children, Kathy Rapp (Gary), Bobby, Jimmy (Cindy), Patty (Dennis Thieme); daughter-in-law, Darian Davis Dumont, Suzy (Jim Phillips), fourteen grandchildren; and eight great-grandchildren. Butchie's parish family is Our Lady of Grace Catholic Church in Avon Park. To a wide circle of family and friends Butchie leaves a legacy of love, wisdom, wit, intelligence, style, and a positive attitude as well as her most precious gift, her faith. With gratitude for their exemplary care for our Butchie, and support for our family, please send memorial donations to Good Shepherd Hospice in Sebring. The viewing will be from 5:00 to 7:00 pm on Thursday, July 5, with a celebration of life and remembrance from 7:00 to 8:00 at Morris Funeral Chapel, Sebring.

One of the most amazing women I have ever known; the epitome of the Southern belle, coupled with a great dose of Carol Channing! Under the definition of "gracious" is her name because she never failed to make everyone feel important, loved, and welcomed! Smart, clever, loving, giving, a smile that always brightened the room, including an infectious giggle; Butchie was passionate about her Big Daddy George, her children, grands and great grands. She and Big Daddy always opened their home warmly to family, friends, and countless men of God. For a Baptist girl, it was such a gift to meet priest from around the world who had been invited for rest and revitalization at the Dumont home. Until the day she went to heaven, she always gave a precious piece of her heart to everyone that she greeted, never complaining of illness nor pain, just focusing on you! I'll love you forever Butchie and am so thankful for what you've given and taught so many of us, your children's friends!!! May God continue to love and bless the precious Dumont family!!!

We extend our sympathy to Butchie's family. You didn't have to be around her long to realize she was a welcoming, loving lady. She was a friend to our mother, Ida, who always enjoyed visiting with her when in FL. God Bless you all as you hold on to her memories and celebrate her life.

To my dearest family, some things I'd like to say...
but first of all, to let you know, that I arrived okay.
I'm writing this from heaven. Here I dwell with God above.
Here, there's no more tears of sadness; here is just eternal love.

Please do not be unhappy just because I'm out of sight.
Remember that I'm with you every morning, noon and night.
That day I had to leave you when my life on earth was through,
God picked me up and hugged me and He said, "I welcome you."

It's good to have you back again; you were missed while you were gone.
As for your dearest family, they'll be here later on.
I need you here badly; you're part of my plan.
There's so much that we have to do, to help our mortal man.

God gave me a list of things, that he wished for me to do.
And foremost on the list, was to watch and care for you.
And when you lie in bed at night, the day's chores put to flight.
God and I are closest to you....in the middle of the night.

When you think of my life on earth, and all those loving years
because you are only human, they are bound to bring you tears.
But do not be afraid to cry; it does relieve the pain.
Remember there would be no flowers, unless there was some rain.

I wish that I could tell you all that God has planned.
But if I were to tell you, you wouldn't understand.
But one thing is for certain, though my life on earth is o'er.
I'm closer to you now, than I ever was before.

There are many rocky roads ahead of you and many hills to climb;
but together we can do it by taking one day at a time.
It was always my philosophy and I'd like it for you too...
that as you give unto the world, the world will give to you.

If you can help somebody who's in sorrow and pain,
then you can say to God at night......"My day was not in vain."
And now I am contented....that my life has been worthwhile,
knowing as I passed along the way, I made somebody smile.

So if you meet somebody who is sad and feeling low,
just lend a hand to pick him up, as on your way you go.
When you're walking down the street, and you've got me on your mind;
I'm walking in your footsteps only half a step behind.

And when it's time for you to go.... from that body to be free,
remember you're not going.....you're coming here to me.
