Mary Doris (Blacketer) Mishler, 93, Greencastle, passed away at her home on Sunday, Feb. 12.

Born July 24, 1923 at the family home in Parke County, she was the daughter of Thomas Emery and Mary Malinda (Martin) Blacketer.

She lived through the Great Depression and World War II. She always had many stories to share about her days growing up and was always able to laugh about the hard times.

Mary was a homemaker and also worked at Ace Hardware for several years. She was a member of Beech Grove United Methodist Church for many years.

She is survived by eight of her children, Patty (Bill) Hine, Sue (Rick) Terrell, Mary (Bruce) Vermillion, John (Mindy) Mishler, Jean (Gary) Stout, Ed Mishler (Linda Steele), Martin Mishler and Eileen Mishler; 16 grandchildren; and many great-grandchildren.

She was preceded in death by her daughter Betty Blue, grandson Jake Mishler and great-granddaughter Hadley Downing.

A memorial will be planned at a later time.
