Mary Lou Baxter was born to Lafe and Julia Borden on March 20, 1931, in Tulsa, Oklahoma. She passed to eternal life on Friday, October 21, 2022, in Tulsa, Oklahoma.

Mary is preceded in death by her husband Bob, son Bret Craycraft,, grandson Scott Hamilton, and brother Bill Lee. She is survived by children, James Leroy Munhall of Oklahoma City, Kae Hamilton of Tulsa, Patti-Jo Siggers of Roanoke, Alabama, Fred Craycraft of Tulsa, and Kenneth Casey of Owasso; nine grandchildren, Ryan Casey, Cody Craycraft, Troy Hamilton, Christina Stottlemyre, Steven Lee Stottlemyre, Jade Dorine White, Donna Munhall-Widener, Kim Weston, and Justin Borror; thirteen great-grandchildren and eleven great-great grandchildren.

Mary had worked in different occupations throughout her years, from elevator operator at the Tulsa Hotel, in the 1960's, to a book bindery, from where she retired around 1993. In 1974, she was Reborn and now had an extended Christian family. She became very active in the church as a Sunday School teacher for the younger ones and with a clown and puppet ministry. Mary also loved to sing, on many evenings and family gatherings you would find her, her brother Bill, and a step-bother, with their guitars, playing and singing. She met Bob Baxter in a church they both attended, and they married March 2, 2001. They spent their life serving the Lord: Bob was a deacon and Mary continued her teaching and singing.

Mary has gone to be with the Lord who she loved and served, and we know that he has received her and said, "Well Done".
