Mary is preceded in death by her parents, David A. Stewart and Mary Elizabeth (Clark); her brothers: David C. of Oklahoma City and George D. of Madisonville; and a daughter-in-law Misty Glowatcky of Indianapolis.  

She is survived by her husband, Howard; children: Debbie LaMar (Richard), Ronnie (Brenda), and Linda Richard (Denny); sister Carolyn Lemmons (Vernon) of White House, TN; four grandchildren: Jennifer Hoover (Matt), Eric LaMar, Emily Glowatcky, and Annie Rogers (Jake); and three great-grandchildren: Maddie Balentine, David and Andrew Rogers. 

Mary was a homemaker, bookkeeper, cafeteria worker for 11 years at Princeton Community High School and part time church organist.  She enjoyed sewing, crafts, quilting and music.  She played piano and organ for many years and was assistant church organist for First United Methodist Church in Princeton and belonged to the church choir for over 40 years. Mary was a past member of Tri Kappa, Gibson County Chorus, and Morning Etude Club. 

Mary and Howard enjoyed retirement traveling extensively throughout the United States in their RV for over 18 years and six of those years as full time campers after selling their Princeton home.  In 2005 they settled back in Evansville and became members of Trinity Methodist Church in Evansville.   

The family would like to thank the wonderful nurses and caregivers from Southern Care Hospice that treated Mary with tenderness and dignity while assisting her journey into the next life.  Their careful attention and kindness was greatly appreciated.
