Mavourneen will be greatly missed by her Two Ridges Presbyterian Church family. Always classy, witty & wonderful with her stylish Easter bonnets & heels. Sitting beside her in adult Sunday School, she could crack you up with one whispered comment. Greatly loved, greatly missed, but safely in the arms of Jesus. "Well done, good & faithful servant..."❤️

Aunt Mavourneen has been a blessing to since the first time I met her. A lovely woman, an inspiration, and a picture of femininity.

Anita and I were close friends with Bob and Mav. She and Bob were great supporters when I ran for Probate and Juvenile Judge, always ready to help and encourage. Bob helped out tremendously with printing. Both were great friends. Sorry for your loss.
