4 P A G E 4 Remembering Mary Matthews Mary Matthews November 14, October 9, 2010 I thank my God upon every remembrance of you. Philippians 1:3 Mary Matthews was the type of person that could light up the room with her smile. She always offered a word of encouragement or a hug to her fellow co-workers. Everyone that knew Mary knew how passionate she was about God and her church, her family, crafts, and Alabama football. She always greeted everyone that walked in Goodwill with a friendly smile. No matter who they were, or why they were coming into Goodwill, she always treated everyone with respect and dignity. Mary worked in the Workforce Development Department at Goodwill for over 5 years, where she used her talents to help reach out to those around her. She passed away on October 9, She leaves behind a husband of 32 years, Thomas Matthews; children, Luke Matthews, Teresa Matthews, and Amy Hall. All of the staff, volunteers, and board members of Goodwill extend their condolences to the Matthews Family. She will be greatly missed at Goodwill, but she will always be remembered. To laugh often and much; to win the respect of intelligent people and the affection of children to leave the world a better place to know even one life has breathed easier because you lived. This is to have succeeded.
