Mrs. J. F. McCarty departed this life late Tuesday afternoon at the home of her son, Mr. J. E. McCarty. She was born in Alabama eighty one years ago, last August, thus having past her allotted limit of time several years ago. Mrs. McCarty was a devoted mother, a staunch friend, a charming and capable homemaker and an earnest and consistent member of the Baptist church to the end. She was the mother of three sons, two of whom preceded her to the spirit world, there to await her coming. Funeral services, conducted by Rev. Travis assister by Undertaker Feather, were held at the house Wednesday afternoon, followed by interment in the Palacios Cemetery. And another soul has gone to occupy its mansion in the skies. The sympathy of the community is extended to the sorrowing son and his family.

In loving memory and celebration of a life well lived. Rose Marie Krell McClary (Nana) of Austin, TX passed into the loving arms of our Lord on July 23, 2015. Born November 7, 1930 in New York State and a graduate of St. Stephen’s in Bradshaw, MD, Rose Marie was a beloved Wife; Mother; Grandmother; and Friend to many in Palacios, TX; Victoria, TX; Rockaway Beach, MO; and Austin, TX. Throughout her life she had many interests, first and foremost her children and grandchildren. Her Grandson, Wyatt Taylor, said it best: “Nana loved tenaciously and gave her opinion strongly and expected us to do the same with her.” Rose Marie was a strong woman and expected no less from those she loved.
She was also active in the Methodist Church, scouting, Alpha Club, Bridge Club, bowling, the Women’s Crisis Center, ABWA, the Red Cross, and the Bloodmobile.
She enjoyed painting and baking. We found a near-finished, beautiful painting of a sunset in her room after she passed. And we’ll always treasure our memories of Christmas brunch.
Rose Marie was preceded by her husband, Homer McClary and daughter, Bonnie Jean McClary Taylor (BJ) of Austin; and father, John W. Krell, mother E. Suzanne Jund Krell; three half-brothers; and one half-sister, all of MD. She is survived by her son, John McClary; and wife Nancy; grandson, Mason Taylor and grandson-inlaw, Doug, all of Austin; and grandson Wyatt Taylor and grandaughter-in-law Aya of London, UK.
