MARY CLARE WOOLNOUGH YERIAN was born in Ipswich, Suffolk, England on September 26th, 1939. She peacefully passed May 8th, 2020. She is loved and will be missed by those who are left behind and who knew her.

Mary met and married US Air Force Staff Sergeant Earl P. Yerian while he was stationed at Bentwaters RAF Station in England. They married on March 19th, 1960 and were married until his death in 2010. In September of 1965 Mary became a naturalized US citizen as she followed Earl through various duty assignments. Mary has lived in Florida, South Carolina, Louisiana and finally Texas upon Earl's retirement from the service. She was a stay at home mom until her daughters started high school. At that time she went work for CyFair ISD in their Food Production department. Mary lived in Houston for 45 years.

She is survived by her daughters, Cathy Griffith, spouse John, and Donna Van Hooser, spouse Randy. Her sisters, Margret Howlett, spouse Frank and Ann Harrington, spouse Larry. Grandchildren, Melissa Swisher, spouse Jesse, Austin Van Hooser, spouse Anna, Preston Van Hooser and step-grandson Paul Griffith. She was blessed to have two Great-Granddaughters which she absolutely adored, Adelaide Van Hooser and Elizabeth Swisher. She is also survived by various nieces and nephews and friends that she considered to be family as well.

Mary always supported various charities with a special emphasis on supporting animal organizations. She loved her pets and felt that someone had to help take care of the animals that are not loved and taken care of the way they should be. In lieu of flowers, support for the Humane Society in Mary's name would continue her legacy.

Mary's family has been and is greatly affected by cancer. Contributions to the American Cancer Society to help aid in the defeat of this devastating disease would be appreciated as well.

The Funeral Services to be held will be Private.

For those desiring, the family asks that Memorial Contributions be made to the Humane Society or to the Houston Food Bank.
