Mary Sturgeon
Mary Juanita Ann Sturgeon (or “Wendy” as most of us knew her by) departed our world (but never our hearts) on Saturday, July 9, 2016 at her home in House Springs, Missouri, with her family by her side.
Wendy was born on April 20, 1953 in St. Louis, Missouri. Wendy was the daughter of the late Billy Eugene and Maudie Carolyn Bentley. She was a loving sister to four siblings, Billie, Penny, Dodie and Michael. Later in life she met and married her devoted husband, Ray Sturgeon, and they remained happily married for 45 years until she passed away. She was a beautiful, loving and caring mother to their three children, Carol, Doniel and Raymond and an even more amazing “maw maw” to her grandchildren, Raymond, Blake, Jonathan, Justin and Kaitlyn. She was a dear friend to many and someone that you always wanted close by.
No matter what name you knew her by, the one thing that is certain is that she will be deeply missed and never forgotten. When you see a butterfly fly down from the sky, it might just be her dropping in to say “hi!”.
Rest in peace, our beautiful butterfly. We will meet again on the other side.
Rest in piece my friend. I will miss you.
RIP Aunt wendy, I will never forget you or the booby monster

Happy birthday mom! I will always remember the last birthday celebration we had with you our little princess crown and the wand and how you would hit us with it. Deep down I wish it was magic and would of made you better. But it was your time to spread your wings and fly but I wasn’t ready and still cry wishing you were still here. You are always here in my heart. I love you butterfly.
Mom happy mother’s day wish you were here but your wings were ready even if our hearts won’t. Till the day we meet again I love you, you are always missed.
Mom happy 4th of July. Thanks for the memories you made for us as kids on this day even when you hated the noise of the fireworks. Love you butterfly.
Today makes two year’s since I have seen your beautiful face or heard your voice. I wish we could have one more mother daughter talk. There’s so much I’d have to tell you about and things I wish I had your advice but your wings were ready and not even love could keep you here with us.I look up sometimes and see things only you and I would know about and smile because I know it’s a sign from you. You loved us to much to not sent a sign when we need you the most. I will always love you my butterfly.

It was eight years ago today that you left this world. It’s not been easy for me to move forward. But I’ll be ok I love you and miss you so much. But I know I’ll see you in my dreams and in the next life.
Hi mom merry Christmas I love you and miss you. Thanks for the friend you sent me. Because I know you were the one who sent Julie to help look after me. She gives great advice and sees right through my bullshit. You are the apple of my eye and my heart. Christmas ain’t the same with out you. But we get by. I know that your in a better place. And please know that I’m okay. I am going to Tennessee for a job next month. Please help me out so I don’t fuck up. I am asking for help because I know you want me to do great things. I think you would like Stefanie and Julie. I know you had a hand in them coming to my life. Thank you for that. My buddy Derek is there now. Let him know that I got her back but any help would be appreciated. I love you so much btw I talked to Ray the other day. His little girl is getting so big. I am proud of him he seems to be a good dad. I love you guys and I will talk to you later. Merry Christmas
