Mary Esping

Mary was born in Kansas in 1924. She shared many wonderful stories of growing up on the family farm with her parents Leo and Lena, her sister Lorena and her brother, Ray.

She married our father Jim Esping in 1945. After spending the first several years of marriage as co-owners of a hardware store, they began their adventure as a career military family after Dad was recalled in 1952. Throughout the many moves Mom always made every house a warm and welcoming home and place of stability.

Her love for the Lord, her family and friends were the focal point of her life. After celebrating her 99^th birthday with family and friends she departed her earthly home to her Heavenly home with Jesus on September 23, 2023.

Mary is survived by her son Chuck, daughter Linda and husband Tim, beloved Grandchildren Alison, Joshua, Erik and Stephanie and husband Nick, and Great Grandchildren Elias and Adelyn.

We are so thankful God gave us such an incredibly loving, kind and caring Mom and Grandma who reflected His love in so many ways. We miss her so much, but she will always be close in our hearts until we see her again.
