The Deckard Families,
Our Deepest Sympathy to all of you on the passing of Mary. I only spoke to her over the phone a few times when contacting Kermit who was the Assistant Principal at the WPHS when my Dad, Norris Cozort, was teaching at the SCCC and I was in High School from 1979 till 1981. Mary was very friendly and a pleasure to talk to on the phone. I know she will be missed. At this time we will keep all of you in our daily prayers. May God give each of you peace, comfort, strength, and encouragement. May God bless all of you.
In Christian Love,
Norris/Ivene Cozort

Sorry to hear of Mary’s passing. She was a friend from childhood, and I have many memories of our growing up in the same small community.
She is in a better place rejoicing with the Lord.
With prayers and love.

So sorry for your loss. Thank you for giving to the Lord. Your family has been a blessing to others. Judith helped me and serval other ladies in divorce healing classes at church. We were able to let go and heal knowing God’s love. Tom was an awesome maintenance man at Regal I worked with him in winding he was so kind and helpful. Very wonderful family.

Sis. Mary will be missed by All!
She was a very kind and caring Lady of God and Neighbor.
It doesn’t seem real that she’s gone home to be with her Lord and Savior Jesus Christ .
She Loved her husband Kermit and took such great care of him.
She was wonderful to our oldest son before he passed away and he Loved her and Kermit.
I will see you again one day Sis. Mary.
