The Wickenburg Sun, Wickenburg, AZ July 30, 2008, p.10 Mary Jerrells, 66, passed away at her home on Saturday, July 26, after a long illness. She is survived by her beloved husband Jack and her pets Miss Penny and Miss Pearl. Mary was born in Texas on Aug. 28, 1941. Affectionately known as “Boots” by many of her friends, Mary had been a caregiver all her life. She brought professionalism, love and comfort to all who were in her charge. An active member of St. Alban’s Episcopal Church, Mary was a member of Daughters of the King and the ECW. Mary was truly a ray of sunshine to all who knew her. Throughout her years of serious illness, she was eternally optimistic and courageous. She leaves a legion of devoted friends who have gained so much through her example and the privilege of knowing and loving her. Everyone wants to thank Hospice of the Valley for their compassionate care during her final days. Services will be held in the fall. Memorial contributions can be made in Mary’s name to the Memorial Fund at St. Alban’s Episcopal Church in Wickenburg. ------------------------------------------ The Wickenburg Sun, Wickenburg, AZ October 9, 2008, p.
