Mary Ann Bump was born on May 10, 1941 at her Van Uden family home in Minneota, MN and peacefully entered her heavenly home on December 27, 2018 in Deephaven, MN. Our beloved Mary loved God with her whole heart and lived a beautiful life of selflessness, servanthood and Christ-like love. Mary grew up on a farm near Green Valley, Minnesota, the third of eight children, graduated from Cottonwood High School and lived in the Marshall area her entire life. Mary was many extraordinary things to many people. She was a daughter, sister, wife, mother, friend, soloist, cheerleader, beautician, farmer, seamstress, Butcher Block business owner, consultant, real estate agent, warrior, confidant, gardener, baker, youth group leader, champion of Special Ed advancements, sports spectator and jokester but her favorite and most rewarding role was as a spunky and playful Grandma. She brought an enormous amount of joy and laughter to all of our lives. We feel Mary all around us everywhere we look... she is there in the garden tending to her flowers. She’s trimming trees, mowing the lawn, and giving mower rides to grandkids. She’s baking ginger snaps and Belgium cookies, making apple & rhubarb pies, jam, and bread pudding. She’s cleaning, organizing, and making lists of what to get done next. She’s having fun playing cards, dice, trouble, and doing a puzzle. She’s making up jokes, making up songs and making us all laugh. She’s splashing in the lake, raking weeds, and being silly with us. She’s on the boat, taking a cruise, and enjoying a sunset. She’s sitting at her kitchen table watching the gold finch birds, talking about those raccoons on her deck again, and warning the critters not to eat her flowers because she’s got a good aim. She’s admiring the beauty of ice and snow on the winter trees, and a coral summer sunset over the fields. She’s sharing wise advice, giving hugs, always moving, giving, loving and getting ‘er done! No one could make it, bake it, plant it, trim it, water it, weed it, solve it, shim it, save it, trap it, sing it, create it, play it, praise it and pray it like Mary. Mary was strong and compassionate and loved and followed Jesus. While she endured suffering during times of her life, she modeled what it looks like to have steadfast faith and truly trust God in every circumstance. Her faith was built on truth and the Word rather than emotions or experiences. She reflected Christ’s love to all.

She is also survived by dear aunts, uncles, cousins, in-laws, nieces and nephews too numerous to list.
