Mary B. (Miller) Egerton, age 90, of Evansville, IN, passed away at 12:33 a.m. on Sunday, January 15, 2023, at her birth place surrounded by her loved ones.

Mary was born July 3, 1932, in Hardy, AR, to Errett and Dona A. Faye (Williams) Miller. She graduated from Hardy High School in 1950. After graduation, she moved to Owensboro, KY with friends to work for General Electric. She married her husband of 57 years, Richard, who she met through mutual church friends.

She was a long-time member of Washington Avenue Church of Christ, where she taught Bible class for three-year-old children for many years. Mary enjoyed working in her vegetable and flower gardens and sewing, but gained the greatest joy when she was with her family.
