Mary Settlemoir Obituary
She was born in Piggott on November 10, 1926, the daughter of the late Floyd "Buck" and Dora Dell (Nicholas) Cosby.
Mary Helen was united in marriage to Louis Sheldon Settlemoir and to this union two children were born.
She was preceded in death by her husband, Sheldon Settlemoir; her son, Ronnie Settlemoir; and her daughter, Judy Brown.
Mary Helen was a longtime member of Calvary Missionary Baptist Church. She was a devoted homemaker whose hands were rarely still-she loved sewing, crocheting, and knitting, and blessed her family with countless handmade pieces over the years. She enjoyed watching birds from her window and took great pride in her beautiful flowers, always tending them with care. Her famous sugar cookies were a family treasure. In addition to caring for her home and family, Mary Helen spent many years faithfully handling the bookwork for her husband's business, Settlemoir Construction.
She is survived by her grandchildren: Heather Lack and husband John of Piggott, Arkansas, and Brian Settlemoir and wife Dedra of Paragould, Arkansas; her daughter-in-law, Yvonne Settlemoir of Piggott, Arkansas; great-grandchildren: McKain Holman and wife MacKenzi, John Lack IV and wife Sarai, Drayton Holman and wife Madison, Brittany Johnson, and Kaitlyn Snyder and husband Gage; great-great-grandchildren: Nicole Lack, Mickie Holman, Sophia Lack, and Brooks Holman; her sister, Zetta Woolbright of Fenton, Michigan; as well as many other relatives and friends who loved her dearly.
