The Lord called home his faithful servant, Mary Ruth Smith Finnegan, 88, of Aleppo, Sunday, January 22, 2023, in Reynolds Memorial Hospital in Glenn Dale, W.Va., after being in failing health for two years.
Mary was born December 14, 1934, in Silver Hill, W.Va., to Arlene Ice Smith and Hennen Smith.
Mary resided in Cameron, W.Va., from an early age and settled in Aleppo when she married Gerald "Sonny" Robert Finnegan in 1958, who passed November 14, 2013.
Mary was an employee of Cameron Pottery when young, then a devoted mother and homemaker after marriage. Mary's pride and joy was her only son, Robbie Lee Finnegan, who gave her four granddaughters. Mary was also blessed with two great-grandchildren, whom she loved immensely. Her family and faith in God were her main interests in life. She was a member of the Aleppo Grace Brethren Church for close to 50 years.
Left to cherish her memory are her son, Robbie Lee (Tammi) Finnegan of Wind Ridge; four grandchildren, Hillary (Josh) Cumpston of Rutan, Heather (Todd) Day of Morgantown, W.Va., Katelynn (Richard) Finnegan of Brownsville, Addison Finnegan of Waynesburg; two great grandchildren, Conner and Brielle Day; and beloved companion, Dexter, her dog.
In addition to her husband, Mary was preceded in death by her four brothers, Harvey, Leo, Tex and Rex Smith, who died in infancy.
Friends were received from 4 to 8 p.m. Wednesday, January 25, in Kesterson-Rush Funeral Home, LLC., 3275 W. Roy Furman Hwy., Rogersville, PA 15359 (724-499-5181), where a funeral service was held at 1 p.m. Thursday, January 26, with Pastor Lanny Hewitt officiating. Burial followed at Centennial Cemetery, Aleppo.
