Mable Nellie deBruin, 87, of Canton, passed away on Saturday, February 7, 2015 at the Troy Community Hospital.
Mable was born May 31, 1927 in Grover. She was the last surviving of four children of the late John Edwin and Mildred (Rutty) Preston.
Even though she often had strong opinions and told it as she saw it, Mable was a loving, kind person and a devoted friend to many. She would volunteer her help to anyone in need. Mable was a member of the Grover Church of Christ and a life-member of the Minnequa Grange #754. Other memberships included Bradford/Sullivan Pomona Grange #23, Canton’s V.F.W. #714 Auxiliary and the Roaring Branch Marine Corps League’s Deer X-ing Detachment. Mable enjoyed times shared with friends, especially while playing bingo and cards, usually Euchre. She also adored her cats and loved to read.
