Resident of the Month,
Mary Armantrout
Mary Armantrout was born in Pearl,
Mo., to Ellis and Lexi Garrett. Growing
up, Mary had seven siblings. As a child,
she attended the Yocom Country school
and then was enrolled at Willard High
School.
In 1941, she was married to Edward
Keck. The couple were blessed with two
sons: Edgar Keck Jr. and James Polk Keck.
Sadly, while serving in the military,
Edward passed away in Iwo, Jima. At that
time, Mary’s mother helped her raise her
boys.
Mary was eventually remarried, this
time to Asa Armantrout. Together, the
couple had two beautiful daughters: Linda
and Lisa. In all, Mary has been able to enjoy all seven of her grandchildren.
For several years, Mary was a member
of the Mt. Pleasant Church East of Ash
Grove. After she moved to Everton, Mary
joined Everton Presbyterian Church.
Mary spent 14 years working at the
Black Kettle Restaurant. During this time
she also worked at Garment Factory. At
the age of 70, Mary retired from the Corner Café in Ash Grove, where she worked

as a cook. After her retirement, she sold
antiques for nearly 10 years.
In her free time, Mary enjoys making
quilts, playing cards, visiting with friends
and family, gardening, reading and fishing.
Her favorite foods are fresh fish and
chicken.
Congratulations Mary, for being chosen
as Ash Grove Healthcare Facility’s Resident
of the Month for June!
