Ms. Mary Ruth Whitsett Gibson transitioned to her heavenly home Thursday August 4, 2022, at her residence surrounded by her loving family.

Mary was preceded in death by her parents, son Reginald Cortez Whitsett; five brothers, John Calvin, Richard, Edward, Thurman and Robert Whitsett; four sisters, Louise Whitsett, Myrtle Whitsett, Roberta Hooker, and Helen Goins.

Mary was a Secretary of Transportation for postal courier services as well as a homemaker. She was an active member of Union Memorial UM Church for decades. She loved her Union family, and it showed in her works and worship. Mary participated in several committees over the years. A true Servant of God, a Prayer Warrior, and Missionary.

Mary loved to praise and worship the Lord. If you needed prayer, she prayed for you like no other. Sincere in her faith and beliefs. She loved to sing and was always willing to help people in need. If you were hungry, she made sure you ate. Thank you, Jesus.
