Mary Deloris Rasnick

Mary Deloris Rasnick of Cuba, Missouri was born October 2, 1936 at Courtois, Missouri to the union of Quincy and Lillian (Nee: Swyers) Payne and left from this life on Wednesday, March 16, 2016 at St. Louis, Missouri at the age of 79 years.

They were happily married for thirty eight years when James passed away on June 1, 1992. Mary worked for ten years at Brown Shoe in Ironton, Missouri, but what she treasured for many years was taking care of her children and home. Mary was the Mom who traveled to watch her daughter cheer and son play baseball. She tried to never miss a performance or game. Mary bowled on a league in her younger years and she liked to go fishing. You could find her outside working on the yard or her flowers from spring to fall and if she wasn't outside she was watching CNN. Mary spent many hours at the Cuba Senior Center playing pinochle. What she truly enjoyed most in life was spoiling her family and spending time with all of them. She was a loving daughter, sister, wife, mother, grandmother, great grandmother, aunt, great aunt, sister-in-law, mother-in-law and friend of many. She will be truly missed by all who knew and loved her.
