We have known the Newman family and Mary for many years. Ron and Mary were always a couple we looked up to . I worked with their son Dave and had Paula as a student. Mary was a loving mother and grandmother, always supportive and loving to her family. Praying for comfort at this difficult time. With Love, Dusty and Barb Rhoades

My deepest sympathy to the Newman family. Ron, Dave, Paula, their spouses, Andrew and Jacob. You are in our thoughts and prayers. Pat was a kind, dear lady with a huge heart. Her family meant the world to her. God has gained an angel, and we have lost a special person and a terrific friend. Rest in peace Pat. You will be missed.

Paula, David and family,
So sorry to hear of your mothers passing. She was the mom in the neighborhood that reminded you of Beaver Cleavers. Always looked so good after chasing you kids around all day, keeping the yard and house looking good, would call you in for dinner on the table, and still be smiling! She never seemed to get frazzled. When I think of her it brings a smile to my face. It was nice seeing you and catching up Paula, I am sorry that your mom passed so shortly thereafter. I am sure she is flying with the angels!
