"Ma
Mary", as she was so affectionately called
by the many who knew her, passed away after
several Months of battle with Colon Cancer.
The late Rev. Mother Mary H. Juwley was born
on October 24, 1944 in Maryland County, Liberia.
Mrs. Juwley lived in Liberia until she was 45
years old. Ma Mary attended school in Maryland
County, Liberia. At the age of 16, Ma Mary started
working in all the general Markets selling food.
On August 9th 1964, Ma Mary Juwley became a
member of the Church of the Lord Ala Dula to
begin her servitude to the Lord and her community.
Eight years after joining the church of The
Lord Ala Dula, Ma Mary met Rev. Nathaniel N.
Juwley who introduced her to the United Church
of The Lord where he was a Minister. Ma Mary
then continued her spiritual ministry training
under Bishop David N. Fannie in Logan town,
Monrovia, Liberia where she spent three years
in training to becoming a minster. In 1975,
after knowing each other for a period of three
years, Ma Mary married Rev. Nathaniel N. Juwley.
On March 8th in 1978, Mrs. Juwley and her Husband
then set out to establish an elementary &
junior High school called St. James Elementary
& Jr. High Located in Barnesville, Monrovia,
Liberia. Through their love for children, Ma
Mary and her husband along with the other faculty
members did whatever they could to assist students
that wanted to attend their school which included
printing applications, recruiting students,
creating soccer team, etc…
During
the first year when the school was just opening,
there were only a total of 18 students and within
a three year span, Ma Mary and her husband's
tenacity, work of recruiting & establishing,
made a breakthrough to increase the amount of
students from 18 to 700. In 1984, Ma Mary H.
Juwley then went on to succeed her husband by
becoming the head of the school and running
the school as her husband branched out to the
United States. From 1985-1987 Ma Mary attended
the John F. Kennedy Hospital School for midwives.
In 1989 on August 8th by the grace of God, Ma
Mary H. Juwley was able to join her Husband
in the U.S to continue their servitude towards
God and humanity. Upon her arrival in the U.S
in 1989, Ma Mary was able to gain employment
at the Engle Side at Rock Creek where she worked
until 1996. During Mother Mary's spare time
in 1997, she started an in-house day care business
that she ran from then until the present. Mary
