She always had an open door for anyone who wanted to visit, and always greeted everyone with a smile. She was a member of Newman Swamp United Methodist Church, and loved spending time with her church family.

      Surviving are her daughter, Lois Thomas; son, Terry Howell, both of Lamar; grandchildren, Stacy (Mitchell) Burton, Scott Jeffords, and Brian (Rachel) Howell; great-grandchildren, Kelsey Jeffords, Jonathan Jeffords, McCuen Eadon, and Holdon Howell; step-daughter, Karen (Bryan) Gainey; step-granddaughter, Ashley Robin (Johnny) Ellington.

      She was preceded in death by her first husband, Frank Howell; her second husband, Dillon Wilkes; siblings, Louise Watt, Robert Derrick, Clyde Derrick, and Linda Faye Cassidy.

      The family would like to give a special thanks to everyone at Heritage Home for their care of Mary.
