My most favorite person to ever walk this Earth. My biggest supporter in life. My first best friend. Through life I shared all my great victories and hard life moments with you. You were always there to show support where I needed as well as give advice and direction where I needed. You were never too busy to have a long 4 hour conversation. I am going to miss how we would go on and on about anything and everything.

I remember growing up and you being the definition of the perfect grandma. Daily trips out on the town just the two of us. I adored spending time with you. You made every holiday feel like a dream and every meal feel like a feast. Your dedication to those moments were above and beyond because you loved us all with every fiber of your being. All those memories are forever cherished in my heart. Even the days when I told you "No Grandma, I not be needing nothing today"

Today I find myself more like you everyday. I learned from you that feeding people is a love language. And so I cook all the time because I want to express love the best way I know how. I am gifted at crafting as well as baking because of you. And so I find myself baking for others and crafting in my free time. My determination and persistence most definitely comes from you. Because I don't know how or when to give up. And just like you I go above and beyond for the people I love the most.

I was truly the luckiest person in the world to have such a strong and loving Grandmother like you. You are greatly missed and I truly wish I could turn back time and live life with you all over again. I love you Gamms

Mary, a very dear and wonderful friend that will be remembered and missed always.
She would light up a room with her friendly personality wherever she might be, at home, in a restaurant or the Joan Edwards Cancer Center. All in the cancer center that knew Mary loved her and many there were the recipients of a craft that she had made just for them. It was there at the cancer center that we met Mary and Don. A friendship grew and soon we were "singing buddies" ready to head straight to Nashville! Oh, we all got a lot of laughs out of that especially after Don did his magic with a computer and a picture that made us all look like we were singing!
Mary had a beautiful laugh, strength, faith and a positive attitude even on days that she didn't feel well. She loved talking about their cats, her family from the past and those still living. We shared stories of how we grew up and even how our mothers prepared certain foods. Mary talked about how she loved to work and stay busy. Her kitchen was her happy place.
Mary and Don had a special true love for each other. He cared for her during her cancer journey like only a true loving devoted husband would do. She praised him for all he did, and all the good food he cooked, especially his sausage gravy.
Knowing Mary has been a true blessing.

My mother-in-law
Mom always remind me of my own mother they were just alike.
Mom loved her fried green tomatoes and green beans.
And Mom showed me how to make her whole made potato chips,
And they were so delicious.
Mom was the best of making her decoration wreaths, and her clocks, and her jug's, to put bag's in.
And her can's that she made to put your pencils and ink pens in.
When Mom and dad came down to visit me and Gary she would
Show me everything she had made on her computer.
And they were very beautiful,
and Mom made me the most wonderful, beautiful jewelry ever,
And some of it was for ever holiday,
I will always cherished it.
And I loved Mom and dad so very much.
Mom took me and with open arms like I was her daughter.
And I love her so much.
And I love mom and dad they are so sweet and kind to me,
And I do appreciate both of them.
And I knew how much Mom loved coconut shrimp at the Chinese restaurant she said it was so good that she loved it.
She would go back for second
I would laugh she said come with me.
"We both can't let anyone get all the coconut shrimp,
First because if they do it wood be all gone".
Love
You daughter-in-law

That is beautiful and very much how I remember her. I have so many great memories of my "Aunt"Mary. My grandma would take me with her and they would sit around and talk, your dad in his recliner watching tv. I would sometimes play with one of you boys, the cat, or just sit and listen to them talk. I am truly sorry for your loss. You all will be in my family's thoughts and prayers.

My mother.....

Mary Francis Triplett, my wonderful mother, beloved wife, grandmother, and friend, passed away peacefully on February 15th, 2024, at 4:40 AM, after a courageous eight-year battle with cancer.

Mom was born on July 10, 1945 to Elmer & Lillian McMurray in Addyston, OH. She grew up in a bustling household of thirteen siblings, where she learned the values of love, strength, and resilience that would define her life. I doubt there was ever a stronger willed woman that ever lived. She truly defined Strength!

On September 10, 1963, nearly sixty-one years ago, Mom married the love of her life, my dad: Don Triplett Sr. Theirs was a true love story that endured through every trial and triumph. Together, they raised us three children in Southern Ohio until we each embarked on our own journeys.

Mom was the epitome of strength and unwavering determination. Throughout her life, she never faltered in her beliefs or her devotion to her family and friends. Her heart overflowed with love and compassion, and she would stop at nothing to bring happiness into the lives of those she cared about. Mom's love language was often shared through food and her love of crafts! She loved to cook for everyone that crossed the threshold of her home; and when you left you were full; both of food and love. She was so talented and loved making household craft items that she shared with everyone; Yesterday, I heard a story of how she made things for everyone in the cancer treatment center and brought so much love and happiness to other patients receiving their chemo treatments; She had the kindest heart for those she loved and cared about.

Despite her battle with lung cancer, Mom faced each day with courage and resilience. She surpassed every medical expectation, fighting fiercely for almost a decade longer than anyone anticipated. Her love for dad was the driving force in her determination to stay by his side.

During her final days, Mom was surrounded by her devoted husband, children, grandchildren, and family. Despite the toll cancer had taken on her body, her spirit remained resilient, and her spunkiness shone through, bringing comfort and warmth to those around her.

Mom is survived by her loving husband, Don Triplett Sr.; her children and their spouses: Don and Doni Triplett of Sachse, TX; Rick and Della Triplett of Ashland, KY; Gary and Avanelle Triplett of South Point, OH; her siblings: Shirley, Annette, Carolyn, and Elmer (Junior); as well as numerous grandchildren, great-grandchildren, extended family members, and friends.

In her passing, Mom leaves behind a legacy of love, strength, and unwavering devotion. She will be deeply missed by all who had the privilege of knowing her.

A memorial service to celebrate her life will be held at Rome Cemetery on Saturday, February 17th at 12:00 noon. In lieu of flowers, donations can be made to the American Cancer Society in Moms honor.

Though she may be gone from our sight, Mom's love and legacy will live on in our hearts forever. May she rest in peace, knowing she was deeply cherished and loved.
