7/25/1938 – 6/13/2016
Mary Lee Huffman was the fifth child of Margaret and Herbert Birch, born on July 25, 1938 in Missouri. She is survived by her loving husband and best friend of 46 years, Cyrus Huffman; step-daughter Lois Martinez; grandchildren Debony and Sierra; great-grandson Sebastian; her sister Frances Murrell; brother Herbert Birch; as well as many nieces, nephews, great-nieces, great-nephews, and cousins. She is preceded in death by her brothers Howard, George, Sidney, Larry, and Zachary; sisters Eleanor and Rebecca; as well as her parents.
Mary was a hard worker and loyal employee of Clark Foam Co., even getting up at early hours to fulfill her shift. She later retired from there. Mary loved fishing, shopping, and traveling . . . not particularly in that order. But most of all she loved her husband Cyrus, who she married on February 7. 1970. Mary was a very out-going and passionate person. She had the gift of being able to talk to and befriend others, which she then used to the full after her faith moved her to dedicate her life as one of Jehovah’s Witnesses on March 23, 1975. Sometime later she showed her love for our heavenly father Jehovah by pioneering up until the time she fell ill. She had a zest for life, and greatly loved all of her family members and friends. There was nothing she wouldn’t do to help any and all of them. Her spunky and sweet personality is surely a memory we will all hold near to our hearts.
