the feeble knees, and was a mighty witness of the Lord Jesus Christ. To her
dying breath, she was filled with gratitude, and as she was fond of saying,
"full of the Old Ned." She was endlessly compassionate and a riotously funny
lady. We will miss her, but know that she is reunited with her sweetheart and
is happy. She was as great a mom as any child could ever have. We love you

together. Marydean was frugal and established a lovely, comfortable home. She
acquired from her mother a fondness for things of beauty. She demonstrated
that love by creating needlepoint chairs, and furniture which adorned her
home. She was an original member of the "Liberty Ladies" sewing club, who met
together frequently to celebrate life's finest moments and to commiserate
during tragedies. She had an incredible work ethic, and saw every task that
she took on to it's best completion. Marydean took pride in her children,
David and Marlene, and found great happiness in their accomplishments.
Marydean's love for her family will be treasured as we remember her fruit
cake, love of sewing, long walks in Liberty Park, and her magnificent
penmanship. She gave service to many people, often anonymously. She had a
smile for everyone and is truly a beloved daughter of God.  We express our
sincere gratitude and appreciation to Dr. Cherie Brunker and the care givers
at Garden Terrace for their loving and compassionate care of Marydean and
Spike for more than six years. The family appreciates the gentle giants that
have lifted and loved Marydean throughout the length of her illness. She is

Carol lived and breathed the strength of her convictions. Carol was an
inspiration to all who had the opportunity to know her. Carol was gifted in
her ability to view the world with an open mind, talented with an artist's
brush and endowed with a writer's prose. When in her company, one could always
expect stimulating conversations, lively, yet cultured music, delicious food,
the beauty of her home and yard and her birds. Carol is survived by her
husband, Stephen; and children, Pamela (Brad) Allred, Melanie (Greg)
Offermann, Michael Gray, Deborah (James) Marinos, Stephanie Zimmerman, Carolyn
(Craig) Zimmerman-Dean, and Jason Zimmerman; and grandchildren, Ashley,
Joshua, Matthew, Nathan Jennifer, Leslie and Charlie; and sisters, Beverly
Williams, Marilyn Pyper, and Sheri Heyman. Private family services to honor
Carol were held at an earlier time. Carol was a loving wife and mother and
loyal friend. Thank you Carol, for nurturing us with your strength and guiding
us with your light. We will miss you dear mother. Breathe deep and with great
ease, our sweet mother.
