He had lived in Peters- burg most of his life, grad- uating from Pike Central High School in 1976 and from Harry Wendelstedt School of Umpires in Day- tona Beach, Fla., in 1986. He umpired baseball for over 20 years. He was an av- id sports fan, a St. Louis Car- dinals baseball fan, and an Indiana University and Uni- versity of Evansville basket- ball fan.

MARY ANN CR AIG Mary Ann Craig, 92, passed away at 8:30 a.m. on June 22, 2018, in Phoenix, Ariz. She was comforted by her sons, Mark and Brad- ley, and a friend, Magdale- no Marin, in her last days. She was born at home on March 2, 1926, in Oakland City, to Arthur and Opal Comer Henager. She was a graduate of Ot- well High School and at- tended Indiana University. She married John T. (Tom) Craig during W WII at Ft. Benning, Ga., on Decem- ber 19, 1943. She spent 26 years working for Union Hospital in Terre Haute, in charge of the Chaplaincy program and eventually be- came the Patient Represen- tative of the hospital. She retired from Union Hospital in 1997. During those years of service, she was remem- bered by scores of patients and other families who came to her later and expressed their appreciation for reach- ing out to them during times of anxiety and uncertainty regarding their impending prognosis. She and Tom were char- ter members of the Eastside Church of Christ. She spent many years in the church teaching children's Sunday school and later ladies' Bi- ble classes. She constantly stood by her husband, who served as a deacon and elder for 44 years. In addition to her 26 years with Union Hospital, she served as president of the Wabash Valley Chap- ter of Mended Hearts, Inc.; past president of Newcom- ers Club; past president of the Indiana Society of Pa- tient Representatives; mem- ber of Women's Department Club and the Union Hospi- tal Service League. She re- ceived the Girls' Club Wom- an of the Year Award; the Ki- wanis Handclasp Award; the Otwell High School Award for Humanitarian Ser- vice, and the Otwell High School alumna "Woman of the Year" Award. Perhaps one of the most appreciat- ed highlights of her career was the Bauer Award, pre- sented to her by Union Hos- pital in 1994 in recognition of her service as Patient Rep- resentative. She and Tom received the Crystal Heart Award for their work with Mend- ed Hearts. In October 2010, 13 years after her retire- ment, the Chaplain's Office of Union Hospital honored her by establishing a funded "Mary Ann Craig Chaplain of the Year" Award to be pre- sented each year to the out- standing volunteer chaplain. The recipient would receive an engraved crystal bowl and his/her name would be added to a plaque in the Chaplain's office each year. She was known through- out Wabash Valley for one of her favorite hobbies – giving book reviews for vari- ous organizations in the Val- ley, as well as doing special programs for many church groups during Thanksgiv- ing, Christmas and other holidays and special occa- sions. She was a loving and de- voted wife, a model stay- at-home mother while her family was still in the nest, and a servant Christian to all who knew her. She was about the only non-working mother on the block and was host to many neighbor- hood kids in her backyard after school in her sons' tree house, trenched yard, beehives and rabbit hutch- es. She was a person whose daily life was recognized by her husband, sons, church members and almost all who knew her as one who quietly displayed all of the elements of the fruit of the Holy Spirit; such as love, joy, peace, pa- tience, kindness, goodness, faithfulness, gentleness and self-control. Tom told many that she possessed more of all of these attributes, dai- ly, than anyone he had ev- er known. They moved to Phoenix, Ariz., in 2014 to live out their last days in Bradley's care. She is survived by her sons, Mark, of Indianapo- lis, and Bradley, of Phoe- nix, Ariz.; sister-in-law, Sondra Alexander; three step-grandchildren, Kev- in (Becca) Kopke, Sam (Laurie) Kopke Mounsam- rouath, and Kristie (Rob) Crisp, all of Ft. Wayne; eight step-great-grandchil- dren, Ashley, Alexia, Aayla and Kylee Kopke, Sam Kop- ke, and Breanna, Justin and Jalen Crisp, all of Ft. Wayne; sister-in-law, Diane Alexan- der, of Monticello, Ill.; for- mer daughter-in-law, Mary Helmutz, of Wolcotville, Ind.; and several loving niec- es and nephews. She was preceded in death by her husband, who died in August 2016; and two brothers, Joe and John Alex- ander. Funeral services will be at noon on Saturday, June 30, 2018, at Eastside Church of Christ, 4025 College Ave., Terre Haute. Phone: 812- 235 -9322. Visitation will be from 5 -7 p.m. on Friday, and from 10 a.m. until services on Satur- day at the church. In lieu of flowers, those who wish to do so may di- rect their contributions to Eastside Church of Christ or to Wabash Valley Christian Youth Camp, Inc. (Camp Wabashi), which she and Tom loved. Gifts to Camp Wabashi should be payable to: Wabash Valley Christian Youth Camp Inc., 3525 East Harlan Drive, Terre Haute, IN 47802-8646.
