Mary Womack entered into eternal rest on Thursday, October 5, 2023 after a courageous and admirable battle with an extended illness. She was born on a beautiful Spring day April 1, 1944 in Houston, Texas.
Funeral service is Monday, October 16, 2023 with viewing at 11:30am and memorial service at 12:30pm at The Church Without Walls - Chapel, 5752 Queenston Blvd., Houston, Texas 77084 with Pastor Ralph Douglas West, Sr. and Rev. James Harris officiating. Interment is at 3pm at Calvary Hill Funeral Home and Cemetery, Humble, Texas.
She was the youngest of eight children. God poured out his blessing to her with 6 children.
She was baptized and accepted Jesus Christ as her Lord and Savior at an early age. She later served as an usher at Leedale Baptist Church under the leadership of Pastor Bates. She later moved to the north side of town and became a member of the Church Without Walls where she faithfully served over 24 years until her health failed.
Mary attended George Washington Carver High School, in the Aldine Independent School District. Her career included working at Dresser Industries, San Jacinto Junior College, and Mount Houston Elementary School in the North Forest Independent School District where she assisted in the library over 16 years. She later moved to Calvert Elementary School in the Aldine Independent School District where she worked as a secretary. She enjoyed working with students and seeing them become successful and productive citizens. After several years of service, she later retired to spend time with her grandchildren.
She was an animal lover and her prized possession was her dog "Boomer" that ruled the house for 13 years. Boomer preceded her in death. Her favorite vacation spot was Orlando, Florida. During her leisure time, it was always about watching TV and football. Mary loved the Christmas Season, decorating, and only white flocked Christmas trees were acceptable. This was her favorite time of year and she spent long hours cooking and baking. She enjoyed spending time with her sister Dorothy "Sister," they would go to Brenham every year to the Pecan Corner to get pecans for baking before the holidays. With that being said, Pineapple Coconut Cake and Lemon Pie were her favorites, both of which she could really cook.
