It is with profound sadness that we remember Mary Luna Enderle of Kirkwood, Missouri, an internationally best-selling author, devoted mother, widow, and compassionate supporter of veterans. Mary’s passing leaves a deep void in the hearts of all who knew her. She was a shining light in this world, a woman of grace, kindness, and unwavering generosity. Her love, her laughter, and her spirit will forever remain with those fortunate enough to have shared in her life.
Mary was a true inspiration. She never spoke an unkind word about anyone and lived a life of extraordinary compassion. Whether through her writing, her support of veterans, or the love she poured into her family and friends, Mary left a lasting impact on everyone around her. She was a woman whose joy was contagious, whose faith was steady, and whose heart was immeasurably kind.
Those who had the privilege of knowing Mary recall countless treasured moments. From meeting her at the AGC Gala, where an instant connection sparked a meaningful friendship, to coffee and lunch dates filled with laughter, faith, and reflection, Mary brought warmth and love into every encounter. She spoke with excitement about her life, her dreams, her wedding plans, and her future book, always radiating hope and joy. Her love for her partner Chester, her family, and her service dog Sophie reflected the depth of her nurturing heart.
Mary’s legacy extends far beyond her achievements as a writer. She leaves behind a world made brighter by her smile, gentleness, and wisdom. She taught all who knew her that even the smallest acts of love and kindness can leave the deepest impact. Her dedication to others, her faith, and her belief in living fully and generously continue to inspire.
Though we mourn the loss of Mary Luna Enderle, we also celebrate her life and the many ways she touched our hearts. Her light will continue to shine, guiding and uplifting us, and her love will live on in every memory, every story, and every life she touched.
