It is with a great deal of sadness I write to inform you that after a four-year battle with Parkinson’s Disease, on October 4, 2015, Mary Lavelle Owen, wife of the late Bishop Ray Owen who served the Southwest Texas and Rio Grande Conferences from 1992-2000, passed away peacefully at home into the glorious presence of God. At her request and instruction, a private family service is scheduled for Wednesday, October 7, 2015.

Please keep the family in your prayers.

In lieu of flowers, I have been informed that memorials could be made to:
