Mary Evelyn (White) Shinn
June 26, 1936-April 5, 2008
Mary Evelyn (White) Shinn, 71, died at the home of her daughter in Jane, Mo., on April 5, 2008, surrounded by family, friends, and hospice care.
Mary Evelyn was diagnosed with the rare genetic disease, Von Hippel Landau, at an early age. At the time, it was known to place limitations and significantly shorten life expectancy. Mary exceeded all expectations. It is believed that her life in years was a record for one with this disease. In extraordinary ways, Mary never allowed herself to be defined by Von Hippel and limitations. She had the strength and resilience to survive the full spectrum of this progressive disease from loss of sight to renal failure. The medical profession from St. Louis to Boston, as well as all that knew her, marveled at her ability and perseverance to live life to the fullest. Mary had a deep faith, loved and lived with great joy with her family, friends, and community. Her “can do” attitude allowed her to actively pursue a life style that was marvelous to witness. Mary possessed many talents from the ability to listen, a contagious laugh, and unbelievable ways in the kitchen and needle work. Her quilting hobby resulted in many beautiful quilts.
Mary was born, June 26, 1936, in Jane, Mo., the daughter of the late Finis White. She was preceded in death by her parents, Raymond and Owetta (White) Smith. She married David Lee Shinn on Feb. 26, 1954, and graduated from White Rock High School in May 1954. They made their home in Pineville prior to moving to the farm in Jane in 1991.
She was preceded in death by her father, Finis White; parents, Raymond and Owetta Smith; and her husband of 51 years, David Lee Shinn on Jan. 28, 2006.
Mary is survived by a daughter, Pam Jones and husband, Rick, of Jane, Mo.; a granddaughter, Michelle Lee Davis and husband, Chris, of Branson, Mo.; a step-granddaughter, Amy Rogers and husband, Eric, of Grain Valley, Mo.; three step-great-grandchildren, Alexandra Davis and Emily and Hunter Rogers; a sister, Judy Kirby of Jane, Mo.; a sister-in-law, Shirley Simcoe of Richardson, Texas; seven great-nieces and -nephews, Ashley Slinkard, Colt O’Brien, Shane Russell, Kylie Russell, Kirby Townsend, Katie Marrs and Garrett Ezelle; as well as a host of other family and friends.
