(KAIR)--An Atchison civic leader, educator, and businesswoman is being remembered.

Mary Ball was 72-years-old when she died Sunday at Vintage Park, in Atchison.

According to her obituary from Atchison's Arensberg-Pruett Funeral Home, Ball

served as a member of the Board of Education for Atchison's USD 409 from 1976 until 1992. She also served as a board member for both the Atchison Area Chamber of Commerce and Atchison's Amelia Earhart Festival.

Serving on other civic committees when needed, the lifelong Atchison resident was known as an educator at the former Mount Saint Scholastica, in Atchison, and was a familiar face at the former Ball Brother's Drug Store, where she joined her late husband, Butch, in overseeing the operations from June 1992 until September 2011.

The Mass of Christian Burial for Ball will be 10:00 Monday morning at Saint Joseph's Catholic Church, in Atchison.

Among her survivors are sons Bradley and Chadwick.
