Mary Alice Hedrick

Mary Alice Hedrick was born on September 16, 1932. On February 3, 2017, at a young 84 years of age, she fulfilled her journey on this earth and went to see Jesus.

There has been a private family gathering and per her wishes, there will no memorial service. Arrangements are with Schooler Funeral Home 4100 S. Georgia St.

Mary Alice is the daughter of Harrison and Alice Vaught. Her family lived between Borger and Panhandle on the Four Sixes Ranch. Her daddy was the General Foreman at the ranch.  All  her wonderful childhood memories are with her family and time spent on the ranch. She rode on the school bus each day to Panhandle and graduated from Panhandle High School in 1950.  Mary Alice shared wonderful stories of traveling to Amarillo with friends and family and the fun they had growing up.

In 1953, she met the love of her life, Wayne Hedrick. He was working in Borger at Plains Creamery and hired her as his secretary. They were married on Memorial Day in 1954. Their marriage lasted for over 62 wonderful years.

Mary Alice had a wonder life that was full of excitement and travel. She and her husband were in the automobile business for over 30 years. Prior to the automotive business, she was an executive secretary in the law department for Santa Fe Railroad for over ten years. She was fortunate to travel and shop all over the world. Mary Alice obtained her certification in Interior Design. Her love for interior design and shopping was definitely apparent in her personal style and in that of her homes. Nothing could light up her smile quicker than going shopping or her grandchildren!

Mary Alice was a member of The Church at Quail Creek. She was very involved in the women’s bible study and was a faithful member. She assisted in all aspects of decorating the church.  Mary Alice’s abilities and devotion for the church will be greatly missed.

She was known as Mary Alice, Mom, and her favorite name, Mimi....

Preceding her to Heaven is both parents, 2 sisters, Katherine and Nanette, and her precious daughter, Debby Hedrick-Hardy.

Left behind is her husband, Wayne, and her daughter Terri Stavenhagen, along with  her son in law, Steve Stavenhagen. Mary Alice has four grandchildren, April Farley-Snavely, Cory (Stephanie) Farley, Shayne (Tiffany) Stavenhagen and Scott (Shay) Stavenhagen. Along with being blessed with her grandchildren and their spouses, she has nine great-grandchildren, Matthew, Seth, Jacob, Shelton, Stetson, Eli, Sloan, Slayton and Emma.

Mary Alice/Mom/Mimi is going to be dearly missed, but rejoicing in Heaven with Our Lord!

Praise the Lord.....Hallelujah!
