Mary E. Eatherton “Pinky”

Mary “Pinky” Eatherton of St. Peters, Missouri passed away Thursday March 21, 2019. She was preceded in death by her parents Ray and Grace Pearia. Mary is survived by her beloved husband Bill Eatherton; her children Bill (Leota) Eatherton, Mike (Judy) Eatherton, Karen (Rick) Ross, and Julie (Dave) Bogar; her grandchildren, Kim (Scott) Van Hoye, Bill Eatherton III, Valerie (Will) Meyer, Mike (Barb) Eatherton II, Amber (Josh) Krohn, Katy (Robby) Gantz; and 14 great-grandchildren.

Mary's passion in life was her family.  She loved them unconditionally.  The babies and little ones in the family brought her great joy.  Mary especially loved the holidays when we would all get together at her home for food and fellowship to celebrate. Mary had this rare gift of meeting complete strangers for the first time where they would share their life story and personal information with her as though they've known each other for years.  Mary leaves a legacy of love and affection for family, extended family, friends, and others that have come in contact with her.  This earthly world will miss her.

In lieu of flowers, memorial contributions are appreciated to St. Jude Children's Research Hospital or Cardinal Glennon Children's Hospital.
