Mary Frances Roper, 91, of New Market, entered into eternal rest Friday, January 8, 2021, at her residence. She retired from Magnavox in Morristown after 25 years of service. She lived a full life and was loved and respected by her community. Before the pandemic, Mary Frances regularly attended church services at Youngs Memorial AME Zion in New Market. She was an avid sports fan and she regularly watched baseball and football games during the entire sports season. She was preceded in death by her parents, John and Lois Roper; brothers, Walter and Leedy Roper; sister, Cecelia Roper-Johnson and niece, Robin Johnson. She is survived by her nieces, Clara R. Olden of Morristown and Tiffany Morgan of Strawberry Plains; nephews, Ronald Johnson of Indianapolis and Brandon Morgan of New Market; a host of cousins, grandnieces, and grandnephews. The family is grateful for the neighbors and friends, who generously drove her on errands, took her food and genuinely cared for her. Your kindness has not gone unnoticed nor will it be forgotten. A memorial lie in state will be held from 9:00 am - 1:30 pm on Saturday, January 16, 2021 at Fielden Chapel. A private memorial service, officiated by Rev. Bernice G. Osborne, will be held at a later time. In following with Covid-19 guidelines, we ask that everyone wear a mask and maintain a safe distance from others.
