Mary M. Renshaw, age 107, of Plymouth, IN passed away on Sunday, July 10, 2022, just 8 days from her 108th birthday, at home with her loving family by her side.
Mary was born to Edwin Kreger and Lora Bullard on July 18, 1914 in Tucumcari, New Mexico. After her parents divorced, she was raised by her mother, Lora, and her dearly beloved stepfather, Jack Geuder. She was a high school graduate and married Upton Renshaw, who preceded her in death. She was a homemaker and raised her family in Harvey, IL. After her husband’s death, she lived in Lisle, IL, where she belonged to the Wesley United Methodist Church of Naperville, IL. She was also a member of the Women’s Guild of the Lisle Historical Society who repaired historical items. She was a loyal Chicago Cubs fan and was extremely artistic with sewing, needlepoint, and various other crafts, however, first and foremost she loved her children, and was extremely proud of her entire family. She left a loving impression on everyone she met, and she was dearly loved by her family and friends.
