Mary Elizabeth Chamberlain was born April 13, 1938 at home in Shelby county, Indiana to Clarence and Gladys (Rouse) Weaver. She left this life July 2, 2007 at her home with her family by her side; taken away by pancreatic cancer.
She married the love of her life, Ralph Chamberlain August 3, 1970 in Miami, Oklahoma.
Mary held various jobs through her life from general store clerk, health care provider and meter reader. She was not only a homemaker. She was a home builder. There was not a task Mary couldn't do from electrical, tiling, to roofing. She was a master carpenter. There wasn't a task that Mary wouldn't tackle and it was always doen for pennies on the dollar. Mary was stronger than most men with the energy of a toddler. Her joy for gardening and landscaping was unsurpassable. All were sure to be amazed by her creativity.
Mary took great pride in sharing her wealth of knowledge with all who knew her and there could never be found a better friend.
Mary was preceded in death by her mother and father, one brother, Bradford Weaver, son, David Dyer, stepson, Wayne Chamberlain.
She is survived by her husband Ralph, two sons, Dwight Dyer (Myrna) of Chariton, Iowa, Darrell Dyer of Honolulu, Hawaii, one daughter Debbie Conn (Todd) of Loveland, Colorado, two stepdaughters, Helen Fowler (Gary) of Preston, Missouri, Kathy Crum (Jim) of Sedalia, Missouri, two beloved daughters-in-law, Noi Dyer of Meridian, Mississippi, Jeanne Dyer of Mt.
