Mary Linn
Mary Linn, 82, a cherished member of the community, passed away peacefully Jan. 21, 2024.
She was born May 11, 1941 in Hillsboro, to the late Dr. Walter H. and Velma (Walker) Fenner.
Mary was a loving daughter, sister, wife, mother and grandmother. Mary was raised in a close-knit family alongside her brothers, Wayne, Dwayne, Gene and Ralph, as well as her sisters, Doris Younker, Donna Ferrell and Ann Fenner-Williams. Within the warmth of this family, she cultivated the values of love, compassion and a steadfast commitment to her loved ones.
On Aug. 16, 1959, Mary entered a lifelong partnership of love and devotion with her beloved husband, Carl W. Linn, who departed this life on Aug. 12, 2016. Together, they built a beautiful life centered around their shared values and unwavering commitment to their children, Mark and Carla. Mary and Carl navigated life's joys and challenges, hand in hand, for 56 years, creating cherished memories and a legacy of love that will forever endure.
A woman of deep faith, Mary was a member of the Rainsboro Church of Christ. Her unwavering faith provided her with strength, comfort, and guidance throughout her life's journey. She found solace and community within the walls of the church, where she served as a source of support and kindness to all who crossed her path. Mary was a beacon of love and warmth within her family.
She leaves behind her son, Mark Linn of Columbus; and her daughter, Carla (Chuck) McCullough of Hillsboro; who will forever carry their mother's love within their hearts. Mary's beautiful spirit will also be cherished by her grandchildren, Ashley Swearingen (Nichael), Allison Howell (Brandon), and Sara Brown (Ryan); four great-grandchildren; and brother-in-law, Tony Younker. Through the bonds of family, Mary's legacy will live on, as her values and love are passed down from generation to generation.
