Mary Elizabeth Little, 81, passed on to be with the Lord Jesus Christ on Saturday, September 24, 2016 in Arlington in the presence of her family. She was comfortable and at peace while the family sang and prayed around her.

She received the Lord at a young age and answered the call to serve Him very early in her life. Mary wed Robert W. Little on December 21st, 1954 and together they served the Lord in the U.S., Indonesia, Taiwan, Russia, Armenia, Georgia and many other countries. When she began meeting with the church in Los Angeles she touched the Lord in a deeper, richer way and her experience of Christ blossomed. Her walk with the Lord was expressed with a heart full of praise, worship and thanksgiving to the Triune God. She rendered unceasing care to her family and to countless members of the Body of Christ. Mary was a worthy woman in life and faithful to the end. She was a dear loving bride and wife for over 61 years. She was a loving mother to her 5 children and a kind and gracious grandmother to her 14 grand children and 4 great grandchildren. Foremost she was a loving, serving, God-man to the Lord and to all the saints. Her gift of hospitality was apparent to all who entered her home. She was a faithful and sacrificing intercessor for the building up of the Body of Christ and the spread of the gospel of the Kingdom. Often we witnessed her broad heart expressed in praying for God's kingdom and will to come to this earth. Her portion in Christ will be dearly missed.
