MARY F. NATIONS
OZONA — Mary Nations ended her 78-year earthly journey, dying without pain in her home on Saturday, Feb. 2, 2002. She was looking forward to being with her Lord, making the words of her favorite hymn “Nearer My God to Thee” become real.

A resident of Ozona for 47 years and a teacher there for 30 years, Mrs. Nations, a.k.a. “Mother Nations,” adopted every child who walked through the door of her classroom. It seems like everywhere you go in Ozona, people say “She was my teacher,” or “She was my dad/mom’s teacher.” She will be remembered for her feisty attitude and her toe in a jar.
Survivors include a son, Robert Nations of Kyle; a daughter, Michele Nations of Holliday; a sister, Margaret Smith of Baltimore, Md.; a great uncle, Charles Wade of Alpine; three grandsons; two great-grandchildren; two nieces; and one nephew.
Funeral service will be at 10:30 a.m., Wednesday, Feb. 6, at the First Baptist Church of Ozona, with burial at 4 p.m. in Elm Grove Cemetery in Alpine. Bring your best memories of Mrs. Nations.

A special thanks for the wonderful loving care she received goes to Shelly Wood, Connie Gonzales, Jarrett Karels, Emily Cervantez, Kasi Yeager, Donna McDaniels, the beautiful people at InterLink and American Homepatient and all the other countless helping hands who made her last days precious. May the Lord richly bless you for your kindness. Preddy Funeral Home
