Mary Frances Neese
June 15, 1934 – September 15, 2024
On Sunday, September 15, 2024 at 8:05am, Mary Frances Neese passed away peacefully at the age of 90 in her home in Woodway, TX to go be with her Lord and Savior in Heaven and join her loving husband Harry once again for eternity.
Mary was born on June 15, 1934 in West, TX to James “Jimmie” Lee Kirkpatrick and Molly Irene “Kyle” Kirkpatrick. Mary Frances “Kirkpatrick” Neese brought excitement and joy to the life of our family as well as everyone she came in contact with. As time passed by Mary attended several elementary schools, East Jr. High and graduated from Waco High School in 1953. Mary spent her childhood and teen years very active in the Salvation Army as a member of the Sunday School, Church and music programs. She became a very proficient cornetist in the church band. Prior to her marriage to Harry Neese, she managed sub-stations for a local dry cleaner for many years.
After Mary and her husband retired from their thriving decades of home building, they managed several rental properties in the Waco area. She accompanied Harry to many classic car rallies both locally and across the country as she supported the classic car enthusiast in the family, the man she loved. They had 50 beautiful years of marriage that was an example of true love, longevity and mutual giving.
Mary was preceded in death by her husband, Harry Lee Neese; father, James “Jimmie” Lee Kirkpatrick; mother, Molly Irene “Kyle” Kirkpatrick; brother, Milton Ray Kirkpatrick; and sister, Janet Irene Kirkpatrick.
Mary is survived by her daughter, Frances Irene Neese; sister, Janell Fay “Kirkpatrick” Crosby; brother, James Walter Kirkpatrick; stepchildren, Calvin and Shelley Johnson, Paul and Anastasia Neese, and Joy and Patrick Turner; grandchildren, Matthew Johnson, Ashley Johnson, Dan McWhorter, and Kylie Allen; great grandchildren, Walker Wise, John Robert Allen, Benjamin Allen and Charlotte Allen; as well as many loving nieces, nephews and cousins.
Mary was a loving, dedicated wife, daughter, sister, mother, stepmother, grandmother and friend to all. We will all sincerely miss you so very much Aunt Mary.
