- Mary Street
Mary Stonehocker Street was born October 4, 1924, in Linden, Iowa, the daughter of Hilda Berniece and James Everett Stonehocker, and died May 18, 1981, at Mercy Hospital in Des Moines. She joins those who preceded her in death, her parents, and infant sister, and tow brother, Jas, Ward and Harry Everett.
Mary was reared in the Linden-Panora area and thru high school was active in sports. She graduated from North High School.
In Chicago, on August 8, 1942, Mary married Wayne Street. Together they raised four children: James and wife Linda of St. Charles, Missouri; Jerry and wife Linda of Norwalk; Michael and wife Patricia of Humeston; and Marilyn and husband Kevin Cline of Weldon. Her love extended to their grandchildren, Wade and Diane of St. Charles; Jan, Chad, and Julie of Norwalk; Christopher, Sarah, and Elizabeth of Humeston; and so many other close relatives and friends.
To Mary life was such an enjoyable and precious stint. She was a member of many of Humeston's organizations and the Christian Church. Anything which touched the lives of her husband and children she became involved in and gave generously of her time and love. Mary was an active partner in Street Oil; she was always making and keeping friends in our community. It is a tribute to this active woman that she adapted and loved others faithfully through her illness. She was giving of herself through all these years. She lived her faith and love for life among us, and we will remember.
