Mary Elizabeth Null, 55, of Pacific, MO, passed away on January 9, 2024. She was born on September 28, 1968, in St. Louis, MO. Mary was a remarkable individual with a wicked sense of humor that could light up any room. Her laughter and humor brought joy to those around her, and she made friends wherever she went. Despite facing numerous challenges, Mary showed incredible strength and perseverance.

In recent years, Mary had to overcome a stroke and an amputation of half of her foot. Her determination to live independently led her to leave the nursing home, a feat that filled us all with pride and admiration. Although Mary did not have children of her own, she cherished her nieces, nephews, and grand nieces and nephews as if they were her own. One of her favorite traditions was organizing a cookie bake-off with all of them during the holiday season.

Mary is survived by her stepfather, Bruce Skaggs, and her brothers: John (Carol) Null, James Null, Scott (Raquel) Null, and Ben (Laura) Null. She was a beloved aunt to Chad, Cassie (Jamie), Corey (Kenzie), Jimmy, Cyndi (Lauren), Colleen (Stevie D), Lani, Johnny, Scott (Brittany), Thom (Kindra), Jenna (Kevin), Emily (Alan), Jade, Brandon, Jordin, Bryson, and her great nieces and nephews: Damien, Dennis, Danica, Lyn, Layla, Arya, Ezra, Belle, Deegan, Joseph, Gideon, and Waylon, and her beloved cat Jazzy.

Mary was preceded in death by her mother, Mary (Bruce) Skaggs, her father, John Null, her brother, Mike Kosares, and her sister, Cris (Stephen) Woods.

A Celebration of Life for Mary will take place on Sunday, February 25, 2024, at Cedar Hill VFW at 1 Lynn Ln. Cedar Hill, MO 63016.

The event will begin at 2:30 PM and continue until 7:00 PM. A lunch will be served at 3:15 PM, with the services following immediately after.
