November 29, 1943 — July 20, 2024

Mary Grace Seavers, age 80, of Muncie, Indiana, passed away peacefully on Saturday, July 20, 2024, at Yorktown Manor. Born on November 29, 1943, in Delaware County, she was the beloved daughter of the late Hugh D. and Mary Opal (Matthews) Howard.

Mary graduated from Royerton High School in 1961. She was first married to Jim Glidden for 14 years. In 1980, she married Eric Seavers, with whom she shared 35 years.
