Texas Wildlife Rehabilitation Coalition for many years.
Gardening was a lifelong passion as well, with plumeria, hibiscus, pansies and geranium topping the list of favorites and she belonged to the Houston chapter of the Plumeria Society of America and held the office of Secretary for a time. If a plant flowered, she loved it. She adored the Christmas holiday, and decorated the house accordingly, leaving some favorite decorations up year-round.

I learned so much from this wonderful lady, especially my love of animals and rescue. I can attribute my years of fostering (over 60 dogs) and my current zoo directly to her heart. Thank you for your generosity and guidance over the years. You are missed.
I have been blessed to be part of this family for a very long time and Mary Sue was always so caring with my family and I. She will be dearly missed but remembered for her kind and loving soul. Love you
I am so sad as I read of Mary Sue's pasage to heaven. She was such a lovely lady and I remember many wonderful times with she and Lynn. Also enjoyed sharing gardening discussions and seeing her beautiful yard. I also remember when she and Lynn dated and married .. my husband, Chuck, was Lynn's best man as they had become friends at work and remained friends. I know Mary Sue is greatly missed.
While I didn’t know Mary Sue, I am a friend of my Christian brother Lynn at church. Know he loved her dearly and was a very concerned care giver trying his best to get good medical help for her.
Although not a member of the family, it was an honor for Lynn to invited my wife, Elsie Ann and me to the Grave Side Service.
On behalf of my entire family, I want to thank you and your staff for your excellent and caring service.
Thank you for all you did to make our mother's funeral special, dignified, and easy for us.
I just can't express to you enough how much we appreciated the kindness and professionalism my family experienced with you and your staff.
Thank you for treating my beloved mother with honor and respect all throughout the process.
Our family will be forever grateful to the owner and staff at Beresford Funeral Services for the excellent services they provided to our family upon the death of our loved one. Everything went smoothly. The planning was easy with everything needed for the funeral provided on sight at reasonable prices with no pressure to spend more than planned. They were flexible with our personal plans, very kind, and considerate from beginning to end. We would definitely recommend Beresford Funeral Services to anyone in need of funeral services.
