MARY MEYER
October 9, 1918-December 14, 2006
Mary Anna Meyer, 88, entered into the presence of the Lord on Thursday, December 14, 2006, after a brain hemorrhage.
She loved music and enjoyed singing in the Worthington, Ohio, Grace Brethren Church choir. The preceding week she had sung in five Living Christmas Tree concerts, and has now graduated to singing in heaven. She delighted in being with her extended family, and had a special bond with her great grandchildren.
Mary was preceded in death by her husband, Dr. Nathan M. Meyer, three siblings, and two great grandchildren. She is survived by her daughter, Joan Keane, son Paul (Sharon) Meyer; six grandchildren: Heather Keane, Shauna (Alfie) Crim, Lauren (Brian) Lance, Nathan Meyer, Nicholas Meyer, Joshua Meyer; seven great grandchildren, and special friends Chris and Jeanine Zearfoss from Virginia.
Burial was Monday, December 18, 2006, at the Mt. Laurel Church of God Cemetery in Piketown, PA, where she grew up, and where her parents, husband and siblings are buried.
A memorial service was held at the Grace Brethren Worship Center in Westerville, OH, on Wednesday, December 20, 2006. Because she prayed daily for special missionary friends, her family is requesting that in lieu of flowers, memorial donations be sent to Shenandoah Baptist Church, Attn: Pastor Robert Mullen, 6520 Williamson Rd, Roanoke VA 24019 in Mary’s memory.
Mary was working on memorizing the first passage that follows, and the others were marked in her Bible.
For His divine power has given us everything required for life and godliness, through the knowledge of Him who called us by His own glory and goodness. By these He has given us very great and precious promises, so that through them you may share in the divine nature, escaping the corruption that is in the world because of evil desires. II Peter 1:3-4
The fear of the LORD is the beginning of wisdom, and the knowledge of the Holy One is understanding. Proverbs 9:10
The LORD is my light and my salvation – whom shall I fear? The LORD is the strength of my life – of whom shall I be afraid? Psalm 27:1
For the Lord Himself will descend from heaven with a shout, with the archangel’s voice, and with the trumpet of God, and the dead in Christ will rise first. Then we who are still alive will be caught up together with them in the clouds to meet the Lord in the air; and so we will always be with the Lord. Therefore encourage one another with these words. I Thessalonians 4:16-18
