Ionia Sentinel-Standard - Sat. Nov. 7, 2009


Mary L. Powell, age 52, passed away on Friday, Nov. 6, at her home with her 
family at her side, following a courageous battle with cancer.

She was born on May 27, 1957, in Lansing, the daughter of Francis and Joyce 
(Palimeter) Densmore. Mary has been a resident of the Sheridan area since 1988, 
formerly of Portland. She was formerly employed at Meijers, where she made many 
lasting friendships. During her illness, she found many friends in Hospice of 
Michigan and wanted to thank them for their dedication and caring. The family 
is especially grateful to her husband Jan’s employer, Northland-Marvel for 
their exceptional consideration in allowing the family to spend time together 
in these final weeks.

On Nov. 1, 1986, she was married to Jan A. Powell in Sheridan and he survives 
in addition to their children, Nate (Rebecca) Buck of Portland, Dana (Jeff) 
Jensen of Gowen, Taryn Powell of Belding and Michael Rohn of Stanton; four 
grandchildren, Bryce Buck, Britney Buck, Kennedy Jensen and Peyton Jensen; four 
sisters, Sister Diane Densmore of Taylor, Cheryl Pline of Grand Ledge, Marlene 
(Dave) Simon of Portland, Linda (Brent Hadfield) Wheeler of Vermontville; two 
brothers, Dave (Tina) Densmore of Portland and Tom (Cathy) Densmore of Portland 
and several nieces and nephews and great-nieces-and-nephews.

Mary was preceded in death by her parents, Francis and Joyce Densmore, her 
father-and-mother-in-law, Ray and Betty Powell and a son, Trevor Ross Buck.

Funeral services will be held at 11 a.m. on Tuesday, Nov. 10, at the Shiloh 
Community Church, Orleans with Pastor Kenneth Harger officiating. Interment 
will be at the Evergreen Cemetery, Sheridan. Visitation is being held on 
Monday, Nov. 9 from 5 until 7 p.m. at the funeral home with a rosary service 
following the visitation, led by her sister, Sister Diane Densmore. In lieu of 
flowers, the family has suggested for those desiring to do so, that memorial 
considerations can be made to the Central Montcalm girls’ softball program. The 
Simpson Family funeral Home is honored to serve the Powell family with are and 
compassion. To leave an online message of condolence, please go to
