Mary Earlene Sowards
September 24, 1946 — March 19, 2023
Mary Earlene Sowards, 76, passed away peacefully on May 19th 2023. Loving mother of Jeffrey Sowards and Jennifer (Grant) Johnson, cherished sister of Stephen (Margret) Mueller, Mark (Betty) Mueller, Joseph Mueller and John Mueller and her "adopted" sons Bruce Osborn and Ray (Dionna) Mikels.
Mary was preceded in death by her husband of 41 years Walter Sowards, parents Earl and Mary Mueller and sister Rita Ann Gehle.
Mary enjoyed playing dominos and card games. It was a running joke with family as to how Mary tried to make up her own rules to the games. Her best phrase was "My house my rules". She also enjoyed going to the casino and playing the slots. She enjoyed traveling, especially to Las Vegas. Spending time with her family was the most important thing to her. She will be missed by all.
Public visitation will be held at Immaculate Conception Church (2300 South Smithville Rd) on Monday April 3rd, 2023 at 10:00 am with Mass to follow at 11:00 am. Please consider a donation in Mary's memory to Hospice of Dayton (https://www.hospiceofdayton.org/donations/)
