Mary Kathleen Rash, age 90 of Monticello, Arkansas went to be in the presence of her Lord and Savior on Tuesday, July 4, 2017. She was born August 15, 1926 in Monticello, Arkansas to the late Robert and Velma Cruce Lawson.
She was a member of Enon Baptist Church of Monticello. Her first job, upon graduation from high school was in Oak Ridge, Tennessee where she worked as a teletype operator supporting the Manhattan Project, (WWII Atomic bombs). She also served as secretary, for numerous years, at the Arkansas Rehabilitation Center of Arkansas in Monticello and later worked in the Financial Aid Department at UAM until she retired. She was also a graduate of Draughon Business School. However, her greatest challenge and achievement was the rearing of three children, imparting her love for Christ and His Word to them.
