Mary was welcomed into eternal rest by those who had prepared her seat before our lord and savior: her beloved parents Arthur Villar and Pauline Espinosa, along with her cherished brothers Ernie Espinosa and Kenneth Walker. Though they preceded her in death, their love and memories remained close to her heart throughout her life. Mary, known to many as “Terry” is remembered as a loving Mother, Grandmother, Sister and Friend. Strong in her faith, Mary prayed her rosary daily along with many other prayers she learned over the years including those passed down from her mother and grandmother. Mary loved music, often listening to the oldies station all while bobbing her head and tapping her foot every time she heard a “good song” that reminded her of her childhood. From sunrise to sunset Mary brought joy to many. With such a beautiful spirit and heart made of gold, Mary often found her way to your heart through her cooking. No matter the time or the day, Mary was always there to comfort, feed or consult those in need. In November 1992, Mary’s heart expanded with the arrival of her first grandchild, a precious blessing she embraced with boundless love and open arms. As the years passed, her family blossomed and she was lovingly known as “Grandma” to 10 cherished grandchildren and 9 beloved great grandchildren. Each child held a special place in her heart, and her gentle spirit, unconditional love and treasured memories will continue to live on through the generations she deeply adored. Known for her soothing voice, warm hugs, and loving demeanor, she will be forever missed. She is survived by daughter, Teresa Warrell; son Allen A.K. Jones; brothers, Arthur Villar and Gary Wooton; and sisters, Christine Villar and Paula Wooton. Mary, you will forever be in our hearts and forever on our mind. Until we meet again, Rest in Paradise.
