Hi,
I am one of Mary's sons. Mom died at her home in rural Columbus, Kansas.
Her mom (Goldie Mae Cummins Osborn) and dad (Ralph Justin Osborn) as well as two sisters Sarah Osborn Neely and Rebecca Osborn Mas are buried in the same cemetery as well as the various Osborn relatives therein.
Thanks!

There was one mistake in the obituary which did not include a sibling who died at birth in 1943.
I have attached 3 photos of Mom, one from her HS graduation, one from her graduation from St. John's Nursing School, and one when she was serving as Head Nurse at St. Johns.
Nursing was her passion. When she had a dying patient without family, she would be there so that they were not alone. Often this was on her own time. She would also sit with a dying patient to allow their loved ones a respite.
She was born into the Friends (Quaker) Church and exemplified it throughout her life. Many people knew her because of the compassion and care they got from her at the hospital.
Thank you,
Wesley
