Mary Phelps Humphreys, age 78, passed away April 22, 2019, surrounded by her family. She was one of six children born to George and Stella Phelps on August 26, 1940 in Ogden, Utah. She married David Stewart on March 7, 1956. They were blessed with 18 years of marriage. Dave was killed on the job in 1974. She again married Gary Humphreys on August 10, 1983.
In her younger years she enjoyed bowling, boating, fishing, and camping. She always relished competing with friends and acquaintances playing golf and was a past president of the Women’s Golf Association at the White Barn Country Club.
Mary was a beautiful elect woman with grace and elegance, a woman with instinctive wisdom. She will always be remembered by her family and friends as a kind and giving soul with an infectious laugh and down to earth sense of humor. Her crochet work was unmatched in originality. She was also a talented artist doing ceramics and crafts. She completed several beautiful Asian needle point portraits.
She enjoyed getaways to Nevada playing slot machines, cards, and Keno. She was very lucky and won several times.
She always enjoyed life and cherished the time spent with her family. She had an open door at her home and was always glad to see you. Visitors would always be welcome there.
She is survived by her husband, Gary Humphreys; her children, Sherry and Richard Pontius, Steven Stewart, and Ronald Stewart; eight grandchildren and eight great-grandchildren. She was preceded in death by her parents, brother, Ralph Phelps; and twin sister, Margret Vaughn.
