Mary Edith Justice

Mary Edith (Rigsby) Justice February 19, 1934 to April 25, 2026 Mary Edith (Rigsby) Justice, age 92 of Peebles, Ohio, passed away on Saturday, April 25, 2026, at Monarch Meadows Nursing Home, Seaman, Ohio. Mary was born in Magoffin County, Kentucky on February 19, 1934, the daughter of the late John Brack Rigsby and Myrtle Jane (Caudill) Rigsby. She is preceded in death by her husband, Burlin Justice; daughter, Shirley Mae O'Bryant; son, Terrance Lynn Justice; grandson, David Burlin O'Bryant; granddaughter, Cassie Nicole Shiveley; son-in-law, Dale Shiveley; sisters: Bertha Jayne, Ethel Lehmann and Martha Bliss; and brothers: Roy Rigsby, Corby Rigsby, Junior Rigsby, John Paul Rigsby and Mark Rigsby. She is survived by her daughter, Dee Dee Shiveley; sons: Brian (Regina) Justice and Brett (Billie Jo) Justice; grandchildren: Lacee (Brandon) Carroll, Brooke (Jake) Daniels, Baylee Justice, Blake (Madison) Justice, Beau Justice, Jacey Justice; and great-grandchildren: Tad O'Bryant, Liam Carroll, Lakyn Carroll, Jude Daniels, Kingston Justice, Leighton Justice, Bennett Justice, and Livvy Justice; brothers: Joe Rigsby, Herman (Charlene) Rigsby, and Therman Rigsby; sisters: Margaret Smith and Sue (Don) Coston; and several nieces and nephews. To Mary's children, she was considered the greatest Mother and Grandmother a person could ever have. She loved spending time with all her family. She dedicated her life to making sure everyone felt her unconditional love and proved this in many ways. When her daughter Shirley passed, she didn't hesitate in taking over raising her grandson, Burl. Mary would then go on to care for her son Terry, who was injured in an accident, never leaving his bedside for 21 years. The sacrifices she made went well beyond what a mother's love can endure. She will dearly be missed. When I come to the end of my journey and I travel my last weary mile, just forget if you can, that I ever frowned and remember only the smile. Remember I have fought some hard battles, and won, ere the close of the day, but in the summer just gather some flowers and remember the place where I lie. And come in the shade of evening, when the sun points to the sky in the west, stand for a few minutes beside me and remember only my best, for God has now granted me Eternal rest. The family would like to thank Monarch Meadows Nursing Home and Buckeye Hospice for their loving care of our mother. Private funeral services will be held at the convenience of the family. Mary will be buried in the Mt. Zion Cemetery.
