She was born December 28, 1919 in Knightsville, Indiana, a daughter of the late Bernie and Louise (Sawyer) Brockmier. Mary was a happy and energetic person all of her life. She became a Christian at the age of 16 years at the Jackson Street Church of Brazil Indiana. In 1936, she met Issac David Breece in Brazil, Indiana and they were wed on June 14, 1938. They moved to Indianapolis, Indiana where they attended the Missionary Bands Church and Heart of Holiness, where she and Ike gave themselves wholly to Jesus. In the course of time she and Ike felt the call to sing for Jesus. They answered that calling and sang for Jesus for 35 wonderful years of service to the Lord. Mary and Ike were married for 56 years before Ike was called to be with the Lord in heaven on October 6, 1994. Mary is survived by a son, Isaac Eugene (wife: Peggy) Breece; several grandchildren, great-grandchildren, great-great grandchildren, nieces and nephews.

Our mothers and all who have gone before me. Above all, with Jesus, praising and worshipping Him! I want to thank my family for their kindness to me over the years, going the extra mile to help meant so much to me. I always knew I was loved and was never forgotten. God Bless you all. The Bible says to ‘Cast thy bread upon the waters: for thou shalt find it after many days.’ Ecc 11-1. My family surely did this. I would also like to thank Sister Marteena Armour, Brother and Sister Mitchell and my entire church family as well as the Seese family.” The Sproles family and staff are honored to serve the family of Mary Elizabeth Breece.
