Mary Whitaker

Burlington- Mary Louise Squires Whitaker, 91 passed away Tuesday, May 29, 2018 at Alamance Regional Medical Center. A native of Alamance County, she was the daughter of the late Thomas Franklin and Hattie Myrtle Douglas Squires and wife of Homer Lee Whitaker who survives.
She was sick only a short while. All was done that loving hands could. God loved her best. Only a flower budded on earth to bloom in heaven. She is not dead but asleep in Jesus that blessed sleep from which none ever awake to weep.
A place is vacant in the home that can never be filled. The voice we loved is stilled. We know that she can not come in again but may they be able to form a family unbroken around the great white throne in heaven, as they were once here on earth.
