Mary McCreary of Ringwood, OK, went home to be with the Lord Oct. 16, 2007.  Mary was born July 2, 1937, in Mound Ridge, KS to Pete C. and Elma (Stucky) Schroeder.  Mary graduated from Walton High School in 1956.  She married Harry Willis McCreary Jan. 14, 1956 at the Walton Mennonite Church.  They later moved to Enid in 1959, where she was employed by Sears & Roebuck, and later Anthony’s.

Mary was a loving and caring wife, mother, grandmother, sister and friend.  She loved her family unconditionally and was a great joy to be around.  Words cannot describe the loving wife, mother, grandmother and best friend that she was to her family.  We will miss her greatly.
