Mary Pauline Eisner Heath entered into the presence of her Savior Jesus Christ on February 24, 2026 in a much-anticipated meeting. She passed from this life surrounded by all four of her children. Mary was born to Joe and Gertrude Eisner on November 20, 1936, in the middle of three daughters. She grew up in rural Howell, Michigan and graduated from Howell High School in 1954. On January 21, 1956 she married Robert W. Heath at Roscommon, Michigan. Together they faced all the joys and storms of life and raised four children, Bob, Laurie, Mary, and Marcia. She loved all of her family and was greatly beloved by all of them.

Mary was a very hard worker, going from home to store, to farm, to factory. She spent many years working at Electrolux in Greenville. She had a green thumb and could make nearly anything grow. A voracious reader, she read all types of books. A fantastic cook, no event was complete without her famous macaroni and cheese (and cheese and more cheese). Her greatest joy in life was her family and she remarked many times how the greatest time in her life was when her many grandchildren spent so many nights with her. Her Friday night pizza parties were legendary. Her final days were marked by all four of her children caring for her and keeping her in her own home.

She was preceded in death by her grandchildren, Kortney Heath, Benjamin Ross, John Ross, and Bobby Ross; her parents; her sisters, Betty and Joanie; and her mother and father-in-law.

She is survived by her husband, Bob; her four children, Bob (Gina) Heath, Laurie (Marty) Ross, Mary (Rick) Seely, and Marcia (Steve) Pung; fifteen grandchildren, Dan (Casey) Heath, John (Nikole) Heath, Chris (Melissa) Heath, Marlayna Garza, Melinda Ross, Luke Ross, Becky (Dan) Ross, Rachel (Aaron) Fare, Thomas Ross, Britney Witzel, Jonathan Seely, Mekkena (Riley) Reid, Becky (Chris) Nelson, Jessica Pung, and Heather (Matthew) Dainton; twenty-seven great-grandchildren, and one great-great grandson.

Private family services will be held.
