Mary Novak Obituary
Publish in a newspaper
She is preceded in death by her mother, Ollie Colburn, father, Virgle Eaves, and son, Eddie Terrell.
She is survived by her son, Bunkie Hallman (Gena) of Cottondale, AL; brother, John Eaves of Milwaukie, OR; and grandchildren, Jennifer Boyd (Damon), Lisa Imel (Justin), Brittany Francis (Chris), Larry Morrison (Allison) and Chelsea Hallman. Mary is also survived by 14 great-grandchildren, 1 great-great grandchild, and 2 great- great grandchildren who aren't born yet but she knew and loved them with all of her heart as she did with all of her grandchildren.
Mary enjoyed doing crafts, flower beds, gardening, and being outdoors. She loved seeing all the kids, grandkids, great-grandkids, and great-great grandkids, even when she wasn't at her best. She welcomed them with open arms. Her family was everything to her. We would like to say a special thanks to all of her doctors and a very special thanks to Bonnie Hallman for all her dedication and love she showed to Mary.
All flowers are welcome as she loved flowers and potted plants.
