Mary Louise Hoskins passed away on December 17, 2022, at the age of 70 in her home in Aurora, Colorado. She is survived by her children, Tirena, Clarissa, and Paul; her brothers, Eddie and Lloyd; her grandchildren, Alexis, Aayjah, CJ, and Naomi; and many other beloved family members and friends.

Mary was born on April 15, 1952, to John and Alberta White in Lilbourn, Missouri. She was the second youngest and only girl of 7 siblings. She began attending Lilbourn High School in 1966. In 1967, Mary married Clarence Hoskins Sr. She gave birth to her first daughter, Tirena, in 1968; her second, Clarissa, in 1970; and her first son, Clarence Jr., in 1973. The family relocated to Minnesota in 1976 and settled in Aurora, Colorado in 1977. In 1980, Mary gave birth to her youngest son, Paul. Shortly before his birth, Mary was baptized as one of Jehovah's Witnesses.

Mary began her career at King Soopers in 1984. She also earned her CNA license in 1998 and worked at several nursing homes in the Aurora community.

Mary retired from King Soopers in 2012 after 28 years of diligent work. She was one of Jehovah's Witnesses for 40 years and was active in her congregation until the decline of her health.

Mary had an incredibly large heart. She is loved and missed by many. We hope that she rests well.
