Mary Amstutz Schrock, age 93, of Prairie, Mississippi, passed away peacefully on June 14, 2026. Mary was born on January 21, 1933, in Bay Minette, Alabama, to Christian and Elizabeth Amstutz. She spent her life devoted to her faith, her family, and the simple joys of country living. A farmer at heart, Mary loved caring for her chickens and dairy cows, growing herbs and garlic, searching for treasures at yard sales, and enjoying a good serving of banana pudding. A faithful member of Old Aberdeen Road Church of Christ, Mary found great joy in sharing her faith with others. She especially loved telling Old Testament Bible stories to her grandchildren and great-grandchildren. Her greatest accomplishment was her large family, whose lives were enriched by her strength, diligence, and unwavering devotion.
