Mary Hartman Obituary
Mary Ann (Johns) Hartman, 69, passed away August 18, 2014, with her family by her side. She was born November 21, 1944, in Hooker, MO, to Clyde and Elsie Ethel (Helm) Johns. She attended school in Hooker and Waynesville, MO. She married Lonnie W. Hartman, February 14, 1979. Mary retired from Central Bank after 25 years of service in 2006. She would later return working part-time at Central Motor Bank, until being diagnosed with brain cancer in October 2013.
Mary was a member of First Baptist Church. In her youth she enjoyed singing gospel songs, harmonizing with her mother and sisters. Her love of music continued, singing and playing the guitar with various local country & western bands in the ‘70’s. She and her husband, Lonnie, were avid supporters of the Hoof-A-Thon charity for Cystic Fibrosis. She enjoyed spending time with friends and family – especially her grand and great-grandchildren, decorating her home for the holidays and flower gardening.
