Daily Oklahoman, The Oklahoma City, Oklahoma January 6, 2005, page 9A Just 2 days into the New Year, the Lord called our sweetheart home. Mary, loving mother, grandmother "Mema" and friend, died Jan. 2, 2005 at the age of 95. She was born Mary Helen McAnany on 12/4/1909 in Kansas City, MO. She married Max Thomas on 2/12/1930 and settled in OKC. She was a homemaker until Max was disabled by a stroke. She then worked as Executive Director of Okla. County Welfare Board, where she retired. To know her was to love her; she welcomed everyone into her heart and home. When she talked to you, you were "honey". And if you were lucky, she would take you to play bingo with her. She was a member of St. Charles Borromeo Catholic Church. She was preceded in death by her husband, Max, her brother, Phil McAnany, her son-in-law John Spivey, and her son, Jack, who was killed in the Korean War. She is survived by 2 daughters, Mary Ann Merriman and husband Bob of OKC, and Nadine Spivey of OKC; 6 grandchildren - Tally Lobdell of Dallas, Mindy Ruehmann of Seattle, John Spivey of OKC, Cindy Stigall and husband Larry of Boone, NC, Mary Bean of OKC, and Patty Bonura of OKC; and 10 great grandchildren. Godspeed Mema. We miss you terribly and always will. In lieu of flowers,
please send donations to The American Cancer Society or The
Salvation Army. Mass of Christian Burial will be held at 10:00
a.m., Thursday, January 6, 2005, at St. Charles Borromeo
Catholic Church, OKC, with interment following at Resurrection
Memorial Cemetery, OKC.
