Mary Alice passed away on Monday, June 25, 2012 at Chapel Grove Inn in Heath. She was born February 6, 1925 in Union Township, Licking County, Ohio to the late Charles Worthington and Ethel Julia (Sharer) Slater.

She was a 75-year member of Hebron Christian Church (Disciples of Christ) where she sang in the choir. She enjoyed gardening and was also a member of the Hebron Junior 4-H Flower Club, was a charter member of the Hebron Junior Women's Club and was past-president of the Mutual and Civic Improvement Club where she arranged for the "Ohio Flower Bed" in Canal Park. A very patriotic person, Mary Alice was a member of the American Legion Auxiliary, Hebron Historical Society and the Hetuck Chapter of the Daughters of the American Revolution.

Mary Alice knew a lot about regional and family history. She used to let me know the information every time someone was born into our family so I could add it to our family history. Two of my children (Randy and Lynnae) and I really enjoyed our last visit with Mary Alice, and we all feel sad about her passing. We have a video of Mary Alice that I'm sure my daughter would share with you. I remember her many stories, in particular telling us details about the many chickens she prepared for sale and how her father built the area's first modern restroom. This side of the family is proud to have such good people as relatives. Please keep in touch and let me know how you all are doing. We hope to visit Ohio again sometime. We are really sorry about the loss of our family member. She was a great person as I'm sure you are aware.

It was such a pleasure having the Dernbergers as neighbors. I would come home from being gone for the day and she would leave flowers for me on my front porch. I will miss hearing her stories, exspecially about the stone in the front yard. You are all in our prayers.
