Mary went to be with The Lord on Saturday February 16, 2013, age 86. She was of Haslett, MI. She was born April 29, 1926 in Ft. Wayne, IN, to Ruth Marie (née Kover) and William Edward Bostick. In 1947, she married Edward D. McKay, and they recently celebrated their 65th wedding anniversary. She graduated from Indiana University in 1948 with a bachelor’s degree in Art and English and she taught English at Robinson High School and art at Lincoln Trail Community College, Robinson, IL.
Mary is survived by her sons E. Donald (Linda) McKay, Champaign, IL, William K. (Jill) McKay, Haslett, MI, and Richard H.

She was preceded in death by her parents, stepfather Samuel Edmund Williamson, brother William Arthur Bostick and stepbrothers John Williamson and George Williamson.

The family would like to warmly thank the staff of Stoneleigh Residence, Hospice of Lansing, to which memorial contributions may be made in lieu of flowers.

February 19, 2013 at 11:20 amMy sincere sympathy goes out to the McKay family. Be assured of God’s promise that he will comfort you during your grief (2 Corinthians 1:3,4). Jesus foretold a hope that one day we will see our loved ones again happy and healthy, at John 5:28, 29 he said, “all those in the memorial tombs will hear his voice and come out.” I pray this comforts you as it has our family during loss.
