Mary Matherly Obituary
Mary Grace (Brammer) Matherly, 95, of Flat Top, WV, went home to be with her Lord Monday, November 25, 2024. Mary was born September 9, 1929, to the late Karl Cleveland and Edna Grace (Lilly) Brammer. She was preceded in death by her husband Joseph Herbert Matherly; two brothers, Frank and Karl Brammer; two sisters, Rae Gaumer and Merle Fox; grandson, Larry Matherly, Jr.; great grandchild, Dakota Matthew and daughter-in-law Linda Matherly; step-sisters, Blanche Mererkhoffer, Rose Fink.

She had eleven grandchildren, sixteen great-grandchildren and one great-great grandchild.
Mary and Joe were married 70 years before his passing. Many would know them as Madge and Bunt, nicknames given them while growing up. She was a homemaker for all those years. She loved her flower gardens, as did everyone who saw them. She was a talented artist, gifted seamstress, amazing cook, and the best mom in the world!
