Mary Kendrick

Mary A. Kendrick, 84, a longtime resident of Kosciusko County, died Feb. 17, 2023.

Born May 28, 1938, outside of Prestonsburg, Ky., Mary was the daughter of William and Pearlie (Prater) Hall. She spent much of her youth and her early adult life in the Prestonsburg area, moving to Indiana in the late 60s. She was married to Carl Kendrick in Laketon on Dec.15, 1969; Carl survives.

A woman who knew most everybody, Mary was easy to talk with and made friends easily. She had a servant’s heart and helped others whenever she could. She was a longtime member of God’s Highway to Heaven and founding member of Early Apostolic Training Center where she also served as deacon. She liked garage sales and finding bargains at Goodwill. She was a collector of both thimbles and marbles. More than anything, Mary loved her family and the Lord.
