On Friday evening, December 12th, 2025, at approximately 5:30 P.M., Mary Etta Walburn closed her eyes on earth and opened them in Heaven. Mary passed away at Troy Community Hospital.
Mary spent most of her time being a mother – hen to the ones she loved and being a “Big Sister” to close friends and family of hers. She would have given the shirt off her back for anyone in need and an ear to listen when in trouble.
She was a firm believer in the Lord Jesus Christ and attended Calvary Alliance Chapel for a long time until health issues caused her not to be able to go, but that did not stop her from getting into the Bible every day and praying.
Mary is survived by her daughter Jennifer Smith, Her step sons Jerry Walburn, and Joey Walburn. Grandchildren: Anthony Smith, Chelsee (Jason) Esaias, Rebecca (David) Smith. She is also survived by her Great Grandchildren: Malachi, Eliana, Paisley, Ashton Esaias, Bodhi and Coralline Raup, along with Several Aunts, Uncles, Brothers, Sisters and Cousins.
She was preceded in death by her parents, along with many siblings, Her daughter Wendy Moore, and her loving husband Joseph Walburn.
The family would like to welcome everyone who knew Mary to a Funeral Service at First Baptist Church of Troy, PA, on Friday December 19th with the viewing at 11:00 A.M. – 11:30 A.M. and service to follow. The Freeberg Funeral Home, located at 120 North Williamson Road in Blossburg, PA 16912 has been trusted with the arrangements.
