Mary Ellaine Foster Pohl

November 29, 1956 — January 29, 2025

Sedalia

Mary Ellaine Foster Pohl, 68, of Sedalia, passed away peacefully at her home on Wednesday, January 29, 2025.

Born on November 29, 1956, in Sedalia, she was the daughter of Jerry Paul and Helen Marie (Kelling) Foster. On April 6, 2006, she married Floyd W. Pohl in Versailles, MO, and he survives at the home.

Mary grew up in Sedalia and attended St. Paul's Lutheran Church and School through the eighth grade. She later earned her GED from State Fair Community College in 1983.

A devoted homemaker, Mary cherished her husband, Floyd, growing beautiful flowers, and found joy in caring for stray animals. Her love for all creatures, especially dogs, cats, and birds was evident in her life. She adored her rescue chihuahua, Daisy Grace.

Mary was close to her sisters and enjoyed frequent phone calls and lunches together.

In addition to her husband, Floyd, Mary is survived by two sisters: Sue Foster (Dean Gaylord) and Renee Conrad (John); as well as numerous nieces, nephews, cousins, and extended family members including Heather Hughes, Emily Nicholson, Ronette Schulte, Russell Porter, Meritt Samson, Shaun Porter, and Lindi Foster; and sister-in-law, Sylvia Foster.

She was preceded in death by her parents; four brothers: Eugene "Gene" C. Hazelhorst, Farrell A. Hazelhorst, M. Thomas "Tom" Hazelhorst, and Mitchell "Mitch" Dale Foster; two sisters: Karen K. Hazelhorst Porter and Carole Jean Ecoppi Witzig; a brother-in-law, Joseph C. Witzig, Jr.; and her paternal grandparents, Turner and Mary Foster.

A celebration of Mary's life will be held at a later date.

Memorial contributions are suggested to the Sedalia Animal Shelter "Trooper Fund" (for dogs) or "Sophie Fund" (for cats) in care of Heckart Funeral Home.
