Obituary

Mary Ann Gothard
(January 30, 2018)



We "arise and call her blessed." MARY ANN GOTHARD, the beloved wife of Lyle Gothard, passed away peacefully at home surrounded by her children on Tuesday, January 30, 2018. She was the devoted mother of Anise and Rocky Nash, Lyla Gothard, John and Janet Gothard, and Lisa and Paul Shaffer. Her grandchildren, Ginny Marie Young, Tyler Gothard, Jordan and Jered Shaffer, and great-grandchildren, Lane and Luke Shaffer, were special gifts from God, as well as many nieces, nephews and children who touched her life. Mary Ann, the firstborn child of Gladys and Kermit Dillon, felt blessed to have her brothers and sisters, Jimmy and Carol Dillon, Jerry and Judy Dillon, Susie and Larry Fry and Sharon and John Blake. Born with a servant's heart, Mary Ann will also be missed by many other family and friends who enjoyed her cooking; the fruits of her garden; her nursing at "Aunt Mary's hospital"; and her caregiving throughout the years. At 18 years of age, she started her work career assisting Dr. Bourne in Barboursville, W.Va., to deliver babies and perform other office procedures. Continuing her service to others, she was employed by the Cabell County Board of Education as a school cook who made those "yummy rolls"; caring for children as a bus aide; and finally retiring as a secretary at the Vo-Tech Center. She was a longtime active member of Living Stone Baptist Church. Even with advancing dementia, Mary Ann was able to proclaim her faith by writing this sentence for her physician, "The Lord is my Savior." Her children ask that you join them to celebrate a life well lived in the service of God at Wallace Funeral Home in Barboursville, W.Va., on Thursday, February 1, 2018, from 6 to 9 p.m. or at her funeral on Friday, February 2, 2018, at 11:30 a.m., to be followed by her entombment at White Chapel Memorial Gardens. In lieu of flowers, please consider a donation to Hospice of Huntington, The Gideons or the service organization of your choice. With grateful hearts, her children also wish to thank the many family members, friends, physicians and nurses who have helped along this final journey. "... let her own works praise her in the gates." Proverbs 31
