Mary Niemoeller Obituary
The crash occurred shortly before 6 a.m. on Southern Boulevard just west of Sunshine Road in Royal Palm Beach, a sheriff's office crash report stated.
Mary Niemoeller, who was seated in the back of the Mazda, died at the scene. The Mazda's driver, 19-year-old Ranysha Lenaye Turner of West Palm Beach, and a passenger, Regine Turner, 16, of West Palm Beach, were transported to Palms West Medical Center with minor injuries. Another passenger, Alicia Neil Tucker, 36, of West Palm Beach, was flown to St. Mary's Medical Center in serious condition.
The driver of the Ford F-250 truck, 33-year-old Wilson Phillippe of Port St. Lucie, was treated at the scene for minor injuries.
According to the report, Phillippe was attempting to go around another vehicle when his truck hit the Mazda.
Ranysha Turner had just completed a right turn off Sunshine onto westbound Southern and was accelerating in the outside lane, the report stated. Phillippe was traveling westbound on Southern in the outside lane. A uninvolved vehicle in front of Phillippe slowed to make a right at Sunshine, so Phillippe partially changed lanes to go around. While merging back over, the front of his truck struck and mounted the rear of the Mazda, the report said.
Both vehicles left the roadway, crossed over the sidewalk, struck a street light pole and came to rest in the grass near a canal, the report stated.
The crash remains under investigation and anyone who witnessed it is asked to call traffic homicide investigator Karly Gallart at (561) 681-4541.

It has been two years since we lost our dear dear friend Mary. Back then I could not add to this wonderful ode to her life. It was to hard to say goodbye even by written word. I still miss her deeply. She was a ray of sunshine, a piller, a fountain of great advice and she was always fun. I cant wait to see her again, and to have the chance to introduce her to my son. I will always cherish our frienship and for as long as I am alive I will always feel the deep impact she made on my life. I am so very grateful to Jehovah God for giving her to me as a friend. I hope I can honor her memory by being just as hospitable as she was, and to love many and judge none, and always to hope in people, just like she did.

How wonderful we have a living hope from our Creator! May Jehovah give our dear sister's family strength beyond what is normal to cope with their great loss until that beautiful day.

We were saddend to learn only yesterday from a visiting sister from Lake Worth of Mary's sudden passing. Francesca and I have very fond memories of Bob and Mary when we attended the Haverhill Congregation together back in the 80's. Francesca and Mary were in Good Samaritian hospital giving birth to their sons at the same time in 1984. Mary had a wonderful mild personality that was full of love for Jehovah, her family and friends. It seems like only yesterday we were enjoying each others company. It will be like tommorrow when we see each other again in paradise.

A Poem For Mary and Her Daughters
When you miss her so much and you wish she were here,
Just stop for a moment and look in the mirror.
Can you see her expressions, her features, her style?
Do you see her in you every time that you smile?
She passed on to you a piece of her heart
that to others her kindness you would impart.
Forgive us for staring and saying, "It's true! We can see our dear Mary in a lot that you do!"
So until the new world when we get Mary back,
Thanks for doing your part to take up the slack.
We hear her in your laugh and your sense of humor, too.
We miss our sweet Mary, but we see her in you.
Mary...a truly beautiful woman to Jehovah and friend to all

Everyone loves Mary...we always have and always will...

Dear mary...I just today heard about your tragic passing. I know you were doing what you loved and Jehovah will certainly bless and remember you in his thoughts. I sat today and was sad but I also remembered great times with you and most of it was laughing. You were truly a special woman and friend. I will always remember you with very fond thoughts and hope to see you one day in the future, happy and and smiling. Will miss you very much. To all the kids, grandkids and others Mary "adopted" my wholehearted love and sympathy go out to you all. If I had known about it earlier I would have been at Marys memorial. Im sorry I missed that, love and prayerful thoughts to all of you. Vicki King, Gastonia, N.C.

I only spent one day with Mary, Mindy, Heather and Judah, and it was at the beach...go figure! But just listening to Mary's stories and her experiences for those few hours really made me see how much endurance she had and how loyal she was to Jehovah. She loved to Preach the Word and her zeal for the ministry rubbed off on many of us. We pray that Jehovah helps carry you through this difficult time and our deepest sympathies go out to the entire family.

What a loss of such a wonderful, caring, and beautiful sister. My heart breaks for her family and friends. Mary was certainly the type that never met a stranger. Even though I had only met her recently, I felt a special bond...Maybe because we were both blonde (at our age!!!)and loved our bling! But I shared with her also the love of God, family, friends, walks on the beach and
the beautiful Palm Beach weather. I am so grateful of the precious time Mary spent with my mother. Her sweet spirit and gentleness will never be forgotten. I am so grateful that I got to know her and one day we will take our walk on the beach together. I will keep you in my prayers for comfort and peace.

When I heard of what happened to Mary, this tragic accident, my heart sank. It is so true! She was doing the very best thing she could possibly be doing, praising the true and living God, Jehovah. She has finished the race and won. My heart and my prayers go to her dear family and friends. Especially to her children, my heart hurts because this must be so hard for you all. I know Jehovah will give you the strength to cope. All ready he has shown his love and support by means of all these wonderful comments from our dear brothers and sisters. We are all here for you, we love you, and we can't wait to be there with you to welcome back your very special and faithful mom, Mary.

What a blow has been dealt by Mary's sudden death. This beautiful woman dealt with her own blows with such dignity and strength, a testiment to her faith in Jehovah's promises. To Mary's family: don't give out. We are all marching with you toward the prize of Paradise, where she will certainly be.
We wish you could have seen the friends listening to Brother Summersill's talk in the parking lot and Kingdom Hall grounds at Pleasant Valley on Saturday. There were so many who just couldn't get in but wanted to be there for you. Our love and continued prayers for your comfort and peace until we see each other again.

My heart goes out to you, and though I am miles away I feel your loss. Mary was wonderful beyond words; she glowed with kindness and caring. Mary was like a bright flame that you know will lead you out of the darkness. And Mary is still around. That kindness was passed on to her children, her friends, and everyone she touched. We will not forget her lessons and her love.

To Mary's Family and all the friends that knew her. I am so sorry for your precious loss.
Although, we have a wonderful HOPE. Death is the enemy that still pains us deeply. My prayers are with those she loved. May Jehovah give you all what you need to cope as you continue on. And I look forward to the priviledge of seeing Mary again. Until then, we go on until Jehovah says, the work is done! Much Love to all

When our family relocated to West Palm Beach in the early 80's, I met Mary and her family at the Kingdom Hall. I had four children and her children were around the same ages. Being new in town that meant alot to me to know there would be frinds at the Kingdom Hall., however, Mary extended herself and welcomed use into her home, we visited often, our children became friends and developed life long friendships. I just remember Mary as being so sweet and gentle, she loved her family and her life, She was an integral part of my family adjusting to a new life in a new town, it meant so much to me to be welcomed and accepted into her family. She was a shining light and a beautiful person, and I am thankful that my children and myself knew her.
Thank You Mary,

I remember Mary from Junior and Senior high school. We were in the same crowd of students. Mary was always laughing and a joy to be around. She was really a wonderful person. I haven't seen Mary in over thirty years and even then it was just bumping into her in a store. We picked up our conversation as though it was just yesterday when we were in school. She was just that nice to be around.
I will always remember Mary as a wonderful person.

WOW! I think it is absolutely amazing and astonishing how many peoples hearts she has touched, If you read all of the beautiful letters you will see there from all over the place, she was deffinitley an inspiration to anyone she came in contact with. You all must feel so PROUD that your mom touched all of these people in such a special way! I didnt know her like alot of the others did but when I was around her she was always laughing, everything everyone has said makes you know that she truly was a magnificant woman. She was very dear to all and loved by everyone. Sometimes when we are in shock we dont hear or realize what is going on around us through difficult times, but hopefully one day in the future all of these letters will be something to look back and just smile from ear to ear knowing how much your mom meant to so many! We love you all and hope you get through this with Jehovahs help and the support of your spiritual family.

Every memory of our dear Mother Mary is a happy one. She always made us laugh with all her "crazy stories", she loved to dance and we loved dancing with her. She was a spiritual tower, a breath of fresh air and always a loving heart. We are eagerly awaiting the day we can see her smiling face again. Our hearts, love and thoughts go out to her dear family. We love you all.

May Jehovah continue to let our dear sisters endless faith & love shine in our lives. And remember that she was a wonderful example in putting Jeahovah first in her life. I never met her... I only know stories I have heard... I know Jehovah will keep her in his memory and when she awakes she will be with us in paradise. May our wonderful God Jehovah, give her family the holy spirit and strength to endure all tears and hurt. You are all in my prayers!

How we all miss Mary! I haven't been able to cry until now, reading all these beautiful tributes to a truly beautiful soul! Just numb from the shock. So wish we could have gone down for the service.
I've never met another person who so quickly and completely made me feel comfortable, a rare commodity for some of us. She was that special. You loved her the moment you met her.
I remember the first time she appeared in our KH when we first moved to Tenn., I noticed her across the hall and knew instantly she was Shannon's mom. :) Then I met her, and "fell in love" with her spirit.
My heart and love and prayers go out to all of you, her family and her friends!
Can't you imagine when she wakes up from rest: she'll surely say,
"You gotta be kidding me! And you silly people should not have cried over me."
Oh, but Mary, it's not everyday we lose a jewel!

Mary, you weren't born in Tennessee but you might just as well have been because you fit here like a well-worn glove on a winters day.
When you smiled, we all smiled. When you laughed, we all did. You helped us appreciate that it's o.k. not to take ourselves too seriously...God doesn't mind. Loyalty can have a smile on its face.
You reminded us of family...mother and sister all rolled into one.
You have left a light that our tears can't extinguish.
You remind us that some will be missed more than others.
We love you Mary...we just didn't know how much.

What a treasure to have had dear Mary as a friend for 30 years. I am a better person for having known her... her caring ways, and love for life. She experienced more hardship in her life than any one person should ever have to deal with and yet, through it all, she kept the "joy of Jehovah as her stronghold" and kept encouraging and comforting others. In a card she wrote me once (I keep it on my desk) she said, "...keep holding tight to Jehovah-it's almost over- and we're almost there." Well, dear sweet Mary, you are there ahead of me...hope I can tell you soon that I held tight and didn't let go either! I miss you already more than words can say...what an ache in all our hearts losing you even for a short while has been. May Our Great God Jehovah, the God of All Comfort give us, her friends and family, the holy spirit and strength we need to endure our grief. All of Mary's family & friends are in my prayers.

Jehovahs people do truly love on another. Such a very sad time, death is not our friend and it hurts so much to loose someone in death, especially so suddenly, Mary was so meek and kind. I have thought of her often through the years, We moved away to NC in 95. Have gotten to see Shannon and Jason but no one else. I send my love to all of Mary's children and grandchildren. It is a confort to me to know that our loved ones that die are in Jehovahs memory and in his sleeping car. Now we have to remain faithful to see them again. I send my love.

When the bible says death is an enemy it's so true. Thankfully, we have a wonderful hope, but we all still feel the loss of such a special person. I loved Mary dearly. I've had good times, bad times and some crazy times with Mary, she will truly be missed. To all her family and friends, let us do our utmost to make Mary proud of us as we serve Jehovah. Wow, can you just imagine the line there will be to welcome Mary back.

Mary was a beautiful lady and died doing what she loved the most, serving Jehovah completely that morning. She always greet you with a smile of sunshine and share a story that had you laughing and/or crying. My family met Mary, 23 yrs ago at the Haverhill Congr. My two daughters, Angie & Melissa, grandson Jonathan and I sends our love and sympathy to the family and friends. I will truly miss her tremendously and I know we will have a big party with her in Paradise. I will keep my promise to Mary that I will do better in serving Jehovah. My love goes to Shannon, Matthew, Heather, Mindy and Robert. Keep Jehovah near to your hearts as your mother did and keep Jehovah first in everything. She set a fine example.

In the past few days of reminiscing about our ‘Mary memories’ there has been one recurring theme. Laughter (ask Josh, her grandson, about the ‘world‘s ugliest dog‘ incident). You could not spend 2 minutes in her company without laughing. She loved life more than anyone I’ve ever known. She loved life and people. Her laughter and love will be missed terribly and our only consolation is the fact that she most assuredly ‘conquered the world’. My love and sympathy goes out to her family who I love very, very much.

Just looking to the condolences left here, you can truly see the impact Mary had on so many people and how loved she was. Her smile was something that was so warm and genuine and drew you to her like a warm ray of sun. I have many memories as a child of spending time with her and her family and I am so sad for their loss. Shannon, Heather, Matthew, Mindy, and Robert you are all in our thoughts and we hope that you can find comfort in our promise of a new life in a better world.

It is a tragic loss. Makes us realize how we need to each and every day be thankful for our families and our brothers and sisters. you never know when it may be the last time you see them or can tell them you love them.

Few people have a heart as kind as Mary's. For how long we have been blessed to know her, she truly glowed with love for Jehovah, for the truth, and for others. Her smile was enough to brighten someone's day no matter how downtrodden they may have felt. Mary will continue to occupy a special place in all our hearts, a place we hope to revisit in the solace of the new system of things. May Jehovah's holy spirit be with her family; as she will always be a dearest memory. Always, the Zephirs

What a joy to know Mary and see her love for Jehovah be the center of her life. Mary you are in paradise - we are trying to be faithful like you to be there to welcome you and all who have suffered the same of unforeseen circumstance or the pain of sickness and death. May Jehovah comfort all the family at this time. Think Paradise. Rejoice in the hope, Be aglow with the spirit, Slave for Jehovah.

There are few times in life, and even then, you would have to be very fortunate to meet someone as special as Sister Niemoller. She is the definition of a friend. Honest, real and approachable. A true christian. Humble, loving and kind. Most importantly she has made a good name for herself with Jehovah. And even though we are extremely grateful for the reality of his promises, we are saddened by this greates of losses. There are no words that could express our sincere feelings. So we have faith that our prayers offered in behalf of her survivng family will sustain them. May Jehovah, the God of all comfort bring you peace in all your tribulation. Always, your Brothers and Sisters. Johnny, Melanie, Victoria & Chloe

I am writing for my whole family here in Lincolnton North Carolina. I just got home from service and saw the article online. I am so sorry for your families loss. We have lost several dear ones lately in our congregation. I always hope it is the last one but we all recognize, that as long as Jehovah allows Satan's system to continue, He will have to collect some of our loved ones to his memory. We are fortunate to have such a loving Creator that does this only to return them to us shortly. May Jehovah give you comfort as well as the friends in your congregation. You are in our prayers...
September 27, 2010
I received an email regarding Mary's tragic death from one of my dearest friends in WPB. I didn't know Mary, but the fact that she was so well loved by so many speaks to the kind of person she was. It is also so comforting and encouraging to read the outpouring of love for her from so many in Jehovah's organization around the U.S. It is truly a blessing to part of such a large and loving family. Sincere condolences to family & friends.

Dear Heather,Shannon, and family,I am so sad to about your mother. It has been so many years since I have seen u or her but I remember how wonderful of a person your mom was. She always made u feel comfortable in your home and always was so caring. I too have lost a parent and it is so hard even with the hope of the resurrection. please stay faithful so u can be there to greet her when she is resurrected. Knowing that my father would be very upset if he didnt see me there helps me keep serving Jehovah faithfully. Love you all, Your sister, Andrea Fuller ( Murbach) From Haverhill Cong. now King, N.C.

Mary touched my life in so many ways. Her smile was so contagious. She was my family. We loved her so much. Above all, she loved Jehovah and faithfully served him to the end. We will see you in paradise.

Mary was such a beautiful person and we all were better people just by having Mary in our lives. Leah and I may have seen Mary only once a year, but each time it was like we were all just together only yesterday. And I think that is how most people felt about Mary. Her joy for life and for the ministry were so infectious. We spent the entire weekend just recounting the happy and funny memories we have shared with her. We look forward to adding to those happy memories in the near future.
We love you, Mary!

I'm a witness of Jehovah, over in Australia, and I am very touched to read about Mary. My husband Kevin was killed in a car accident 2 months ago, we were only married six months. Like Mary, he had been out witnessing not long before he died, and when they found him he had his Bible with him. How comforting to know our loved ones have died with Jehovah's approval. I don't know Mary but I am so sad for your families, and the shock and grief you're going through, its very surreal. I am comforted in the knowledge that Jehovah will take care of you all, as he has done for me and my stepdaughter. If you ever want to write, my email is [email protected]. Take care and keep praying. Christian love, Renee West (Ormeau congregation, Queensland, Aust)

To Mary's precious children and family, please find comfort in the beautiful thought expressed this week in our congregation Bible study. "Jehovah's beloved servants who have died are safely preserved in God's limitless, unfading memory. So sure is Jehovah's purpose to resurrect such ones that they may be spoken of as living." We know your loss has now been compounded so be assured of our continued petitions to Jehovah to comfort and sustain you till your tears of pain become tears of joy when Jehovah restores her life.

Mary was truly a loving and giving person. She was always so encouraging to us and gave wise loving counsel on so many issues. I will remember her dancing, laughing, and always talking about Jehovah. The blessing about the organization is that we have so many spiritual mothers, fathers, and children. Mary truly was a mother to Dalton and I. We will miss her dearly but will draw comfort that although she lives on in our memory...more importantly she is present in Jehovah's...the one who has the power to restore.

Mary collected shells just like me. We would talk about where we got them. I remember the first time when I saw all of her shells my jaw dropped. She wasn't just my mom or my sister's friend, she was mine. She told the funniest stories that I've ever heard. All of her jewelry matched all of her outfits. Her outfits were so cute people always complimented her on them. I will really miss her a lot. I loved her very much.

Several years ago our congregation lost a beloved pioneer to a traffic accident. One of things that gave us comfort was knowing that she had been engaged in the field ministry when she died, doing what she loved to do. May that thought bring comfort to Mary's family and congregation as well. May Jehovah's New System come soon!

Mary was one of my favorite people to be around. No one else is like her or could do the funny stuff she did. My memories of her are only filled with joy and laughter. In service you couldn't help but cry because you were laughing so hard. And as long as this system last i will miss her everyday, but I can't wait to give her a big hug when I see her again.

As been said many, many times Mary had so many special friends and I hope that I was one of them. She certainly made me feel that way. We shared a lot of fun and happy times together, but the most special were our times out in the ministry. She could make me laugh even when I was sad. I will miss her great smile and the way she encouraged people even when she was down herself. When she was feeling low-what did she do-GO out in the ministry-that would always make her feel better. A very faith-strengthening friend & buddy that can NEVER be duplicated. I can't wait to see her again very soon. All my love and wishes to her wonderful family. They will all be in my heart too. Mary made Jehovah happy with her faithful service to Him.

In October 1982, Mary and I shared a hospital room at Good Sam when we both had our daughters. My Dad had just passed away the day Mary checked in and I truly believe Jehovah was behind Mary and I being in the same room,we went to different congs. and didn't even know each other. She was very comforting to me and I shall look forward to seeing her in the paradise.

Mary became my friend the minute I met her.I just felt like I had known her forever. She was a mom and grandmother and best friend to my daughter and granddaughters. Living in Michigan I never had to worry about them when Mary was around. She was always there for them when I couldn't be. She always had words of wisdom, laughter and spiritual advise for them. I will forever be grateful to her for that. I will deeply miss her and may Jehovah be with her loving family during this most difficult time. See you on the other side Mary.
