Mary Teresa Easley, loving wife, devoted mom, grandmother and great-grandmother, passed away peacefully at her home on November 19. She was born on August 20th, 1924 in Sioux City, Iowa to John and Marie Carlson, and grew up in Palestine, Texas. In 1943 Mary came to Baytown after studying Chemistry at Our Lady of the Lake University in San Antonio. She worked for Humble Oil, replacing men who had gone to serve in World War II. Mary was a stay at home mom and very involved in all 6 of her children's activities. She loved bridge, volunteering at the library, and being a member of the Country Club Garden Club. She was a member of St. Joseph's and later St. John's Catholic Church, where she was a member of the Altar Society and Serra Club. She and her husband Cleon traveled extensively after he retired from Exxon in 1985. We will also remember her love for crossword puzzles, the Astros, republicans, pancakes, swimming, birthday cards, Christmas, Thanksgiving, family, and friends. Her faith in God and love of family were her constant companions throughout her life.
