EARLE, MARY (DUCIE)

March 13, 1944 - December 28, 2024

In Loving Memory of Elizabeth Mary Louise Earle (March 13, 1944 - December 28, 2024) With deep sadness, we announce the passing of Mary Earle, who was called home to be with the Lord on December 28, 2024.

Mary was a woman of unshakable faith, whose love for God and devotion to the church were guiding lights throughout her life. She lived each day with love for her family and enjoyed many precious days spent with her sister-in-law, Vianne Saunders. Her faith was her foundation, and she found comfort in the promise of eternal life. As she enters heaven, we take solace in knowing she is reunited with her beloved husband: Frank, cherished daughter: Diane, beloved son-in-law: Robert, and precious granddaughter: Charli.

Mourning her loss are her beloved children: Loni (Keon), Danny (Linda), Junior (Maxine), Faye (Mark) and Scott (Lori). As well, she leaves to mourn 12 grandchildren and 5 great grandchildren and many family and friends who knew and loved her.

Mary’s laughter, kindness, and fun-loving spirit were gifts she shared freely with everyone around her. She brought people together with her warmth and especially her passion for berry picking. Her life was a testament to the power of love, faith, and community. She leaves behind a legacy of unwavering faith, unconditional love, and countless cherished memories.

A celebration of Mary’s life will be held in the coming days, and we invite all who loved her to join us in honoring her incredible journey. In lieu of flowers, the family asks that you carry her legacy forward by loving deeply, laughing often, and embracing the peace that faith brings.

Rest in peace, Mom. Your faith has carried you home, and your light will forever shine in our hearts.

Visitation will take place from the Calvary Pentecostal Church in St. Lunaire-Griquet on Tuesday, December 31, 2024 from 2-4 pm and 7-9 pm- family prayer to be announced. The funeral service will take place on Wednesday, January 1, 2025 at 2:00 pm with Pastors Geoff and Charity Butler officiating. Interment to follow.
