Mary Linn was first and foremost a Christian. She was a natural evangelist and teacher. Her knowledge and understanding of the Bible was astounding. She was a loving mother to her children and “all God’s Children.” She was a talented artist and craftswoman with many skills and interests. She was a lover of all books and literature and reader of many, many books. Mary Linn was a gifted singer, and loved gospel music. It would have been very difficult to find a song that she did not know.
Mary Linn and Carroll “Edwin” Bills Sr. were married on January 29, 1948 in Fort Worth, Texas.
Mary Linn and her husband Edwin lived and preached the Gospel in Clayton, New Mexico; Freer, TX.; Hannibal, MO., and Clarksville, TX., during which time their children were born.
In 1964 they moved the family to Vigo Park, TX. and began their second career, teaching school nearby at the San Jacinto Schoolhouse.
Mary Linn received her Masters Degree in Education in 1970 from West Texas A&M University.
She taught all elementary school ages in Vigo Park, and First grade at Amarillo Christian School, and in Vega, Texas.
While living and teaching in Vega, she worked with others to establish a Public Library, while working to become a certified Librarian.
After she retired from teaching in 1990, she and Edwin moved to Howardwick, Tx. Mary Linn became the Librarian for the public library in Clarendon, TX., for several years. She said it was her “dream” job.
For many years Mary Linn taught Bible Studies through correspondence courses with World Bible School, and some Prison Ministries. Many people came to know the gospel through her devoted teaching.
She was preceded in death by her father in 1949 and her mother in 1986, her sister Lennice (Tracy) Yucikas in 1995 and her husband Carroll Edwin Bills, Sr. in 2008.
Survivors include:
Daughter Susan Permenter (Bob) of Amarillo, and Susan’s son Andrew Jackson of Oahu,HI.; Susan’s daughter Amanda Jackson and grandson Wesley Betzen of Amarillo, TX.
Son Carroll Edwin Bills, Jr. and wife Cari of New Knoxville, OH.
Daughters Melinda Fangio (Steve) of Amarillo, TX.
