Mary A. Douglas, age 88, Joplin, passed away at 12:18 a.m. Monday, August 19, 2019 at Freeman West Hospital after an illness.
Mary was born July 27, 1931 in St. Louis, Missouri to the late Curtis Cornelius Fain and Mary Alice McCoy Fain.
Mary attended Samuel Cupples Grade School, St. Louis; Soldan and Hadley High Schools in St. Louis; and Meramec Junior College in St. Louis County. She was a longtime member of College Heights Christian Church, where she was part of the Bright Futures volunteer tutoring group. She was also part of the 'Cheerleaders' that visited church shut-ins; the Sunday Lunch Bunch; the Prime Timers and helped to fold church bulletins on Friday's.
Mary loved her family with all her heart. She was happiest when she had a baby to rock and sing to. She had a saying, 'If we learn from our mistakes, I am undoubtedly the smartest woman in the country!'. A woman of faith, Mary claimed that when she accepted Jesus Christ as the Lord of her life, her whole world changed and she learned what happiness was. Praise God from whom all blessings flow!
