Marie Terese Stevens McNamara


Marie Terese Stevens McNamara, devoted wife of 52 years to James Martin McNamara, and loving mother of James Marvin McNamara, passed away in her sleep during the early morning hours of June 17, 2014, in Key Biscayne, Florida. 


A Mass of Christian Burial will be held 10:30 a.m. Friday, June 20, 2014 at St. Columba Catholic Church Chapel with Father Patrick Maher officiating. Entombment will follow in Sunset Memorial Park with Byrd Funeral Home on West Main Street directing.


She was born in Albany, Oregon in May of 1925. At a very early age she and her family moved to Portland where her father was a bridge engineer for the Western Pacific Railroad Company. She graduated from Holy Redeemer High School and Marylhurst College in Portland.  She taught elementary school in the US Canal Zone for over 20 years between 1953 and 1982. She was married to James Martin McNamara for 52 years until his death in 2005.  She and James moved to Dothan, Alabama in 1982. She was a devoted member of St. Columba parish in Dothan.  She taught CCD and bible studies for years and devoted many years of community service to Catholic Social Services.


Marie is survived by her son James, daughter-in-law Lana, grandchildren Elizabeth, Christine, and James (Jimmy), and great-grandchildren Sarah, Zachary, and Olivia.


Her entire family says prayers and sends love to the most wonderful lady who will remain in their hearts forever.
