Faith, Family, & Devotion
Mary Hopke was born on December 9, 1944, in Hannibal, Missouri. On September 9, 1960, she married Bill Hopke, and the two shared 45 wonderful years together before his passing. Their marriage was built on love, commitment, and devotion to family.
Mary is the proud mother of four children and is blessed with six grandchildren and three great-grandchildren. Family has always been at the heart of her life, and she treasures the time spent with those she loves most.
Throughout her working years, Mary was employed at Maple Grove Nursing Facility in Louisiana, Missouri, where she cleaned floors. Though her role may have seemed simple to some, it was work she took pride in, helping create a clean and welcoming environment for others.
Mary accepted Jesus as her Savior around the age of 20, and her faith has remained an important part of her life ever since. Her steady faith and caring spirit have shaped the way she loves and serves others.
In her spare time, Mary enjoyed making quilts and crocheting, creating beautiful handmade pieces that reflect her patience and creativity. Above all, she loved spending time with her family, making memories that will be cherished for generations.
We are grateful to have Mary as part of our Baptist Homes family and are thankful for the warmth, faith, and kindness she brings to our community.
