MARY FRANCES JORDISON
Wednesday, February 16, 2022, Mary Frances Jordison peacefully journeyed into her Savior’s loving embrace guided by her husband of 62 years. Mary journeyed the past eight years with dementia supported by family and friends. The past 18 months were spent with Rolling Green Village (Nevada) staff.
Mary was born in Fort Dodge, Iowa on April 2, 1940. She was the third of five children born to Lawrence and Helen Davis. Mary enjoyed more than 62 years of marriage to her high school sweetheart, Leonard (Bubby) Jordison. Two hearts became one on a snowy winter evening, February 21, 1959. Together, they raised two sons (Steven and Jeffrey) and one daughter (Cynthia).
Love of God, Jesus, church, and family were paramount. Being an ordained priest in Community of Christ church enabled her to assist missionary elder husband in spreading the gospel while ministering in the Marshalltown congregation. Embracing the gospel began by teaching Sunday school to pre-schoolers for many years, leading the church’s women’s group, sharing at Bible study, preparing food with other ladies at church functions.
