God blessed this world with Mary Ruth on December 21, 1935 in Slayton, Texas. She was the second in line for Odessa and Ewell Harris. Mary’s childhood was spent in Azle, Texas. Early in life she was wed to Charles Markum and of this union was born Connie Oneta, Mary Deloris, Marlene Odessa, and Sandra Naomi.
In 1983, Mary gave her heart to Paul David Shero and this union enlarged their family with Mary Paulette, Paul David, Donnia Lynn, and Tammy Wynette. Mary and Paul spent ten years of their marriage driving long hauls. They shared their lives and families with love and joy and they found great joy in showing their love of Jesus to everyone they met.
Mary loved the church and she also loved to crochet, paint, fish, but most of all she loved being with her family.
