Obituary of Mary Owens Stoddard

Mary Elizabeth Owens Stoddard, 75, wife of Crayton Glen Stoddard for 56 years, went to be with the Lord on Thursday, April 2, 2020. Mrs. Stoddard was born in Greer to the late George Edgar Owens and Myra Rachel Ross Dill Owens. She was a member of Pleasant Grove Baptist Church where she served in the nursery for more than 20 years. She enjoyed cross-stitching, gardening, canning, (allegedly) cheating at playing cards, gospel music, and reading books that Glen brought from the library. Mary was a selfless person who loved her grandchildren and relished being “Nana” to all the kids she kept in her daycare. Surviving, in addition to her husband, are two sons, Gary Stoddard, and Wayne Stoddard and wife Teresa; a daughter, Donna Satterfield and husband Randy; three brothers, John Owens, Charlie Owens and wife Peggy, and Eddie Owens and wife Terry; a sister-in-law, Mary Ann Owens; five grandchildren, Erik Stoddard, Amanda Satterfield, Jordan Satterfield, Megan Simpson and husband Warren, and Rachel Adams and husband Matt; and four great-grandchildren, Jaden Adams, Weston Adams, Kyler Adams, and Brennan Adams. She was predeceased by a brother, CSM Frank Owens, U.S. Army Retired. A Memorial Service will be 3pm Sunday, June 28, 2020 at Pleasant Grove Baptist Church. The family would like to say a special Thank You to all the staff of Carlyle Senior Living Center for the wonderful care provided to Mary during her stay.
