Maria D. Gregory

Maria Deon Gregory, 54, passed away unexpectedly on Monday, January 11, 2021.

Maria was born March 16, 1966, in Jacksonville, Arkansas, the daughter of Patricia (Mills) and Richard Edwards, sister to Lisa Hughbanks (Dennis), mother to Blake and Wes Gregory, mother-in-law to Amy and Kara, and grandmother to Margo and Oliver Gregory. She was a loved aunt to Maggie, Jeremy, Kayla, and Jacob, and mothered so many others.  She worked for OOIDA as a Truck Insurance Agent and graduated from Blue Springs High School.

Maria loved to be around family and friends and always brought a smile to the room no matter what the setting was. She enjoyed going down to the farm and walking the creeks going arrowhead hunting, fishing, and gardening. She also enjoyed visiting her sister in Colorado and exploring around the mountains and just spending time with family. Maria’s laugh and smile will be missed by all.

A celebration of life for Maria Gregory will be held during the spring for friends and family to come pay their respects.
