WARNER, Mary A.

(Phillips) April 22, 1919 - November 19, 2014 Mary passed peacefully in her sleep at age 95 on November 19, 2014 and is now reunited with all her loved ones who have gone before her.

She was born at Foothills, WA, the daughter of Charles and Alice Borders Phillips.

She was raised as a child in Foothills and had been a Hillyard resident for many years, and a lifelong resident of the Spokane area.

She was a homemaker her entire adult life and life member of Ladies Auxiliary of the Fraternal Order of Eagles, Aerie No.

1745, and Veterans of Foreign Wars Auxiliary Post 1474, Spokane WA.

She had been very active in both for many years.

Her hobbies were crafting, quilting and crocheting.

She is survived by daughters Loretta, Alta (Rick), Marie; and sons LeRoy, Gary (Pat), Monty (Janice), and Charles (Trish); 15 grandchildren, many great and great-great-grandchildren; one half-brother, two half-sisters, many nieces and nephews; and three sisters-in-law.

She was preceded in death by former husbands, Lloyd Warner and Edwin Neumann, and her husband, Donald Warner; also her parents, two infant brothers, daughter Donna, son-in-law Hobert Nachtwey, two grandsons, one half-brother and two half-sisters.

“I tried to do the best I could.

Sometimes I succeeded, sometimes I failed, but I always tried.

My life was not perfect and I met many bumps in the road.

Mostly I enjoyed life and some parts of it were harder than others, but I learned from every bad situation and I couldn’t do any more than that.

I loved my family very much and look forward to seeing you all again someday.”

The family wishes to thank Sullivan Park Care Center for their compassionate care of our Mom and making her comfortable with no pain during her last days with us.

Memorial Service and Celebration of Life will be held on Friday, December 5th at 11:00 am at Hennessey Valley Funeral Home, 1315 N. Pines Rd., Spokane Valley, WA.
