October 9, 1925 - May 27, 2012
Mary Walden Abel, 86, of Cumming, Georgia, died peacefully in her sleep at home, on Pentecost Sunday, May 27th, 2012. She was born in Cleveland, Tennessee, the daughter of the late Arthur D. Walden and Emma Remillard Walden.
Mary devoted a lifetime of love and service to her own eight children, to her husband, to her parents, to the elderly she kept in her home, to the recipients of her meals-on-wheels, to the patients at the hospital where she volunteered, and to her friends and her community and her country. She was never more at home than when in her garden. She was a humble, bright, wise, kind and witty woman...quick with a quip: "What's your hurry? here's your hat." Two days before her death she smiled at her grandson, Mike Swinehart, and said: "I don't think I'm going out for the team this year".
Mrs. Abel was preceded in death by her husband, Glenn W. Abel, a son, Michael Glenn Abel, and a daughter, Theresa Abel.
Survivors include her sons, Dennis Abel of Cumming Georgia, Roger Abel of Buford Georgia, daughters Ginger Swinehart of Jonesborough Tennessee, Patty Shirkey of Worthington Springs Florida, Peggy Walker of Marietta Georgia, and Katherine Roberts of Sarasota Florida. She leaves behind 16 grandchildren and 15 great-grandchildren.
A funeral mass will be celebrated in Latin on Friday, June 1st at 11:00 A.M. at St Therese of Lisieux Catholic Church, 900 Clingan Ridge Dr NW, Cleveland, TN 37312. Interment will follow in Hilcrest Memorial Gardens.
