Mavis was one of the best friends I've ever had and will ever have. I met Mavis in 79 when I got a job at Richcolor. Mavis and I instantly took to each other and have been close ever since, maybe due to being one week apart in our Birthdays. We had our own sick humor that we laughed about, and we were movie buddies and always went to the fair together to eat ourselves into oblivion as we called it. She was a giving and generous friend to me for so long, always listening to my troubles and though she wasn't the type to get too emotional she would tell me something so logical that somehow I always felt things weren't as bad as I thought. I remember the last time I talked to her-- the day before my birthday and she called that morning to say she was giving me the pre-birthday phone call. She said "if I have time tomorrow I'll call and sing you happy birthday!" I told her jokingly "oh yeah I wouldn't want to miss out on that!" Then she said like she always did "ok hun I love ya" and I said "I love you too." But I never got that call cause the next day she was gone. I feel it was an honor that she went on my day. I'll just remember Mavis and all the things we did together and how we laughed at life together.
It will be an enormous chunk out of my life to be without her, that I can't begin to describe. I know I will never have the kind of friend I had in her and that's the part that really hurts. She will be in my heart and mind forever and I will remember and love her always. I know that now I have another angel up there watching over me and I just pray that I will meet up with her again someday. Mavis, I know you're up there snapping some awesome pic's and hooking up some big fish, enjoy my friend!##imported-begin##Kathie Perras##imported-end##

I was so very sorry to hear of Mavis' passing. She was a true friend, she enjoyed life and her friends to the fullest. From these past 8 yrs. she has left me alot of memories to reflect upon. I don't think I will ever forget her, I certainly hope not. Betty I know you Zac and Tamara will miss her tremendously. Sorry I was out of town and unable to attend her memorial of life.##imported-begin##Karen Hunt##imported-end##

I went to school with Mavis at Bethel. I was a year behind her, but that didn't mean we didn't all know Mavis! She was a character. She had every classroom teacher in sticthes most of the time. She was outspoken, but in the well meaning way. She talked and everyone listened - even if you didn't want to! I remember her as being a very kind and giving person, a friend to all. From what I've heard, she continued that aspect.
My sincere condolences to the friends and family.##imported-begin##Debbie Calhoun Phipps##imported-end##

I was sorry to hear of the passing of Mavis. I have known her since third grade at Clover Creek Elementary School. She was always humorous and outgoing. I have never forgotten her. Even though we lost touch as the high school years passed, I will never forget her smiling face, or the time she pinned me down on the ground in third grade.
Sincerely,

I worked with Mavis at Richcolor for about 2 years. Although I didn't know her well, because we worked in different departments, when our departments did cross she was very helpful and easy to work with. I do remember her famous barbeque meat sausage sauce at some of Richcolors food events, they were great.
I offer my deepest sympathies to her family for their loss and remind them, our loved ones are not gone, they only reside in a different dimension, and they are always around us in spirit.
Mavis is part of the energy of the world now, and heaven has a new special angel.##imported-begin##Belinda Sauro##imported-end##
