Mary Marie Pritchard, 89 of Ocala, Florida went to be with the Lord Jesus Christ, on June 29th, 2024.

She was born in Hammond, Indiana on October 24th 1934 to Kenneth and Margaret Spry. She graduated from Hammond High School. She married Charles Pritchard in 1961.

Mary, beloved wife, mother, grandmother and great-grandmother, was known for her loving and spirited personality. She was always focused on serving and loving others no matter the cost. She leaves behind a myriad of wonderful memories full of laughter and love for her loved ones. Mary had a deep passion for music, gardening and fishing. Her favorite places to fish were on the Tippecanoe river in Delphi, Indiana where she spent her childhood with her grandparents, and in the Florida Keys where she and her husband Charles brought their children and grandchildren to enjoy Gods creation through the years. She was a truly remarkable woman who leaves behind a legacy of joy, love and happiness.

Mary is survived by her loving husband Charles Pritchard, children Sherry McRae (Gene McRae), Kenneth Derry (Marsha Derry), Robert Derry (Josephine Derry) and Teri Hesse (Thomas Hesse), grandchildren Heather Jones (John Jones), Theresa Sykes (Anthony Sykes), Brittney Derry (Gilbert Stroud), Jess Wallenius (Aaron Wallenius) Brad Derry (Jenna Derry), Brianna Novacek (Michael Novacek) and Corey Derry (Elena Toledo) and great grandchildren Reese Jones, Lia Wallenius and Henry Wallenius.
