The children of Willie Mary Mason rejoiced as she entered the gates of heaven on October 26, 2002. Willie Mary Mason was born February 21, 1916 in Runnels County to Jim and Hassie L. Dora Cox. She married Leonard Mason in Hermleigh, July 26, 1932. Left behind is their son, Jim Mason and his wife Jeanette of Midland, and daughters; Cindy Roberson and her husband J.B. of Odessa, Sheila Melton and her husband D.R. of New Braunfels, six grandchildren, twelve great grandchildren and some wonderful and lifelong friends. Our mother had a strong faith in our Lord and Savior. She was loving, forgiving, and kind with a wonderful outlook on life. Graveside services will be held at Hillside Memorial Gardens in Snyder, Texas on Monday at 2:00 pm. Brother Rex Reynolds, her pastor, will be officiating. We express our sincere appreciation to all her friends at Avalon Nursing Center for her care, and to Hospice for compassion, couseling and comfort. Donation may be made to Hospice, 903 N.
