Mary Ruth Elizabeth O'Brien

November 17, 1937 - September 19, 2014

Mary Ruth Elizabeth O’Brien was born on November 17, 1937 and made her journey to heaven on September 19, 2014. She was so strong and fought a hard battle with cancer. Her persistence, positive attitude and commitment to never give up showed her amazing resiliency and strength. She will suffer no more and is now in a wonderful place where her husband, Chuck O’Brien has been waiting with open arms. She is survived by her children, Bonnie Black, Don Thrailkill, David Thrailkill, Ron O’Brien, Linda O’Brien, Larry O’Brien, Mike O’Brien and Jim O’Brien, all of their spouses, as well as her grandchildren and great grandchildren that she loved dearly. She will be remembered for her faith, kind heart and love. A “celebration of her life” memorial will be held at the First Baptist Church, 148 S. Marina St on Saturday, October 18th at 11:00am.
