Mary Rose Wyckoff
August 09, 2018
Mary Rose Wyckoff, 91, went to her new home with her Lord and Savior on August 9, 2018 at Mercy Medical Center in Des Moines. She was born in Des Moines on March 22, 1927 to Merville and Rosamond (Blachley) Davis.
Mary and her husband Don were founders and co-owners of Wyckoff Heating and Cooling for over 50 years. The business was purchased by their five sons in 1985 when Don retired. The company is now owned and operated by Mary and Don’s two oldest grandsons, Andy Wyckoff and Job Cooper. It now employs over 100 people, including both daughters, Pam and Kay along with several other family members and continues to grow.
Mary always gave God the glory for the success of the company and thanked Him for His many blessings. Mary was a true believer that a woman’s two best friends were diamonds and Jesus. She will be truly missed by so many.
Mary is survived by her children, Donnie (Jane), Pam (John) Barnett, Ron (Lee), Doak (Becky), Kalyn (Neil Jay) Lucas, Kyle (Krysta) and Tobie (Jodi); 23 grandchildren; 43 great grandchildren; 8 great-great grandchildren; sister, Darlene Eller; and a host of extended family and friends.
She was preceded in death by her parents; husband, Donald J. Wyckoff; sisters, Betty Jarnigan and Diana Cruise; and her brothers, Merlin Davis and David Davis.
Funeral services will be held at 10 am on Wednesday, August 15, 2018 at First Assembly of God Church, 1700 W. 2nd Avenue in Indianola. Visitation will be held on Tuesday, August 14th from 5 to 7 pm at the church. Burial will take place at Carlisle Cemetery in Carlisle, Iowa.
Memorial contributions may be directed to Carlisle Area Dollars for Scholars or Southtown Pentecostal Assembly in loving memory of Mary.

I would visit with Mary when visiting the Carlisle Wellness Center. What a delightful and wonderful woman Mary was. Her room was so feminine done in all pink. Any small favor was met with such kind words. Many times I would see her in her recliner with her prayer rosary. She made a lasting impression on me. Gone from our sight, but never from our hearts.

I will miss my little Aunty. She is not dead, she didn't pass 'away' she moved to Heaven. I do not remember life without her being a part of my life. When I was small she instilled in me a desire to know Jesus. Now, she is in Heaven & is receiving her rewards. She is placing her crowns at the feet of Jesus, a Heavenly Event that she waited for, for her entire life. She was a winner of souls, a prayer warrior, a witness for Christ & my little Aunty. I will miss her but I am sad for all of her family too, as we will all miss her. Separation on earth is painful, but also bittersweet when we know beyond a shadow of a doubt that she is in Heaven. Thank you Lord for the peace that passes all understanding & I know we will see our little Aunty again.

How can I be sad? I know that I know you are in indescribable glory with the true love of your life JESUS!!!! I will miss you, but I can not be sad!!! If anything I am probably a bit envious!!! I can only imagine what you said when you saw the gates of pearl and the streets of gold! I am so thankful that I am part of your heritage and more so I thank you Grandma for all the time you spent on your knees in order to keep us safe and pray us back to JESUS!!! I cant say enough about what my life would have been like if you werent a part of it, you always loved us and you made sure we knew it. I will tell my childrens children of the great prayer warrior I was blessed enough to call grandma! I will miss the way you would share the love of JESUS with anyone at any time!!!! I only pray that I have the same relationship with JESUS and teach my children and grandchildren about him as you did us!!! I love you I love you I love you! Thank you Grandma, we as youre lineage have some very big shoes to fill, but we know where to start because you made sure to claim everyone of us in the awesome name of JESUS!!!! I will see you in the morning!!!!! I love you Grandma!!!
