Mary C. Buckland
December 22, 1925 - December 19, 2020
Mary C. Buckland, age 94, of Crab Orchard, went home to be with the Lord on Saturday, December 19, 2020, at the home of her daughter at Sebastian, FL. Born on December 22, 1925, in Crab Orchard, she was the daughter of the late Goff and Lola Snuffer Willis.
Mary was a former employee of the Hub and Vogue store in Beckley, where she started her job there at the age 16 and retired after 35 years. Mary enjoyed helping others by sitting with the elderly and helping anyone with car rides to doctor's appointments and/or to the grocery store. She loved cooking for her family and friends, making her famous home-made rolls, which were always a request. She was an avid traveler and her last cruise was a "Jimmy Buffett Cruise," which she continued to talk about.
Mary made her home with her daughter Debbie in Beckley, WV, and Nancy in Sebastian, FL, during the winter months. She attended the Church of the Brethren until she stopped driving at the age of 90. Mary's greatest joy was her children and her family.
