Muley62 Report post Posted March 13, 2012 Mary Stine passed away this morning at the age of 18 due to complications from her lifelong battle against ulcerative colitis. Mary was an active participant in the Outdoor Experience 4 All and hunted every day she was healthy enough to head into the field. Most of her hunts would get cut short due to failing health but within days she was planning the next adventure. Her parents, Lana and Larry Stine, worked so hard to make sure Mary was a ready as she could be for every hunt, and served has great role models to all of us. Even though Mary spent most birthdays and holidays in the hospital, she was always smiling and welcomed visitors. As hard as all of us at OE4A tried to be a blessing in Mary’s life, she always seemed to be a bigger blessing to ours. Thank you Mary, your life was an inspiration and your memory will serve as our motivation. Donations can be made to: Lana and Larry Stine PO Box 1085 Cornville, AZ 86325 Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
BML Report post Posted March 13, 2012 Oh my goodness that's horrible news. I actually deliver her meds to her home every week. I only got to meet her a couple times but she was always in good spirits and very friendly. My thoughts and prayers are with her family. Share this post Link to post Share on other sites

TLH Report post Posted March 13, 2012 You guys did great helping her enjoy her life while she could. I pray that she is in her Heavenly Father's Arms right now telling him all about her time in the field with her parents and you all. My thoughts and prayers go out to her parents and all the people who will miss her--she is fine--we on the other hand will never be the same. Share this post Link to post Share on other sites

PRDATR Report post Posted March 19, 2012 Thats terrible news and my heart goes out to Mary's mom and dad. Parents aren't supposed to bury their children. It is something you can't really prepare for and never ever quite come to terms with. The empty room, pictures on the wall. Next month it will be five years since I lost my daughter Megan when she was also 18 and miss her hugs and smile every day. You change their diapers, teach them to ride without training wheels, watch them catch their first fish and shoot their first deer. It is wonderful to see such an out pouring of love and all the memories the members here share of her. God rest her soul and help her parents through this rough time.
