Mary Eleanor Weeden, 86, formerly of Mayflower Ridge, went home to be with her lord and savior on March 30 at her home in California.

Mary led a fruitful life, serving the Lord beside her husband, the late Lawrence E. Weeden of Evangelical Zion Church.

She was born in Quincy to the late Hugh Dymock and Eleanor Rugman Dymock. She is survived by her son, David L. Weeden of Highland, CA; her husband, Nelson E. Chamberlain, a sister-in-law, a nephew and several neices.

Always gracious, she welcomed everyone into her home over the years, for Sunday dinner, Bible study or fellowship and encouragement. She had a special love for all of God's creatures. She will be dearly missed by all who loved her.

A life celebration will be held at 11 a.m. on May 7 at Evangelical Zion Church, 2239 Cranberry Highway, West Wareham. Food and fellowship to follow.
