Mary Syth Obituary

Syth Family,

I am so sorry for your loss. Mary was a dear friend. I met Mary almost two years ago at the Pitt County Detention Center. She was so sweet. I know that losing her is very hard. My mother was killed in a horrible car accident on August 17, 2008. Just a few days before her. It is very hard to lose someone so close to you. I send my deepest sympathy to you. I can't say that everything will be ok because I to am stuggling to move on. You will think of her everyday. Just remember that she is in your heart for the rest of your life. She watchs over you and stands beside you. She loves all of you with everything she was and still is. Our mothers are in a much glorious place that we can only imagine. Hold your heads up and cherish the memerious you have. If you ever need anything or want to talk, please let me know. 252 531 8423.

Deepest sympathy
Amanda Turner

We talked spiritually on several occassions, I my biggest concern was you keeping the faith to overcome the pain. You hurt for many days I know. You kept trying to make it. Your second home became your work and your second family was here at work. I'll never forget our last meeting with your sister and you, your biggest statement was "I'm ready to get back to work". I'll miss you.

Matt, Amber & Derek;
A moment ago I just found out about your sweet mom, Mary. I am so sorry for you all because I know how much she meant to you and you meant to her. She loved you dearly, as only a mom can. I have such good memories when you kids were young and I would talk to Mary when JC had spent time with you. How precious those times were. Your mom always showed such kindness and love to JC and for that I will always be so thankful you all were a part of his short life. I saw Mary on the 11th of March (the 1st yr marking JC's death) when she brought Amber to my house. I know she knew how difficult that day was for me and she found time to visit with me after taking Amber to JC's grave. I will always be grateful for all the love and support you've all sent my way......and now, please do not hesitate to let me know when you need me.....I know as a mom, Mary's only concern with leaving this world was the well being of her children. She's your guardian angel now, and I can only imagine how much "catching up" she and JC are doing along heaven's beautiful shores. Please contact me, Amber has my phone #......Miss you Matt, so proud of you-stay safe! Derek, you're truly persuing your purpose by sharing Christ's love and I pray you will continue (JC admired that about you)......Amber-- you know I'm just a phone call away, please stay in touch.
LOVE you & GOD BLESS YOU!
'Ms. Sharon'

Derek and Matt, Please accept my sincerest symapthies on the loss of your mother. She was a pleasant lady and having known through teaching both of you and worked with her, I feel a great loss. Take care of yourself. Ms. Smith

I met Mary through Little Red School when Amber and Robert went there. I always thought she was a beautiful woman inside and out. I was so sorry to hear that she had gotten the cancer. I also had Leukemia, but mine was not the same kind and I have been able to be in remission for going on 3 years. I so wish it could have been that way for her. My heartfelt sympathies go out to your whole family. May God be with you all and just know I will keep you all in my prayers.

I only had the pleasure of meeting Mary one time, however, I was amazed at her stamina and positive spirits. As a Cancer survivor, I know her path has not been an easy one. However, now she has become a "pathfinder" or one to lead the rest of us ... one day... to a better place. My heart goes out to the entire family as hopefully we can celebrate the role she played in life rather than the loss we now feel. God bless each of you.

I was so sorry to hear of your loss. The thoughts of many are with you at this time of sorrow.

Derek, Miranda, Matt and Amber, your mother was such a special person. We will all miss her. May the happy memories sustain you and make you smile.
We love you all,
Carol, Carlos, Josh and Robin Moore

Sorry for your loss Rick...thinking of you and your family, our prayers are with you...

Mary Syth was a servant to her fellow man and a friend to all who knew her. Her hard work at the Pitt County Detention Center will always be remembered. God bless David and all the children. "Precious in the sight of the LORD is the death of his saints." (Psalms 116:15)

Dear Rick, Amber, Derek and Matt, I worked with your wife/mom at the Pitt County Detention Center.

I hope you know how much joy she brought to others, just by her positive attitude and infectious laughter! If God were to ever hand-pick an angel, it would be Mary. She has had an enormous impact on my life and I am very blessed to have known her.

My mother, Marjorie, and Mary met several years ago at a party and I overheard them discussing their trials and tribulations with cancer. Neither one of them were afraid of dying, only of not living. As sick as they both were at the time, they found joy in the fact they were able to love, have a family and be loved in return. Today marks the one month anniversary of my Mom's death. I can only think of Mary and my Mom, in heaven, laughing at the rest of us. At that particular party, there was a birthday cake with black frosting on it. Mom and Mary had the good fortune of receiving a piece of cake with that black frosting. I will always remember the both of them laughing, hysterically, at their black teeth! I know Mary will enjoy the same laughter and joy with the Lord that she shared here, with us on earth. What an amazing woman she was!!! I only hope I can be half the woman she was. May God bless all of you. I will always remember and love my precious, Mary Syth.
