Mary Alice Setters, age 83, passed away on Sunday, September 27, 2026, at Stanton Nursing & Rehab Center in Stanton, Kentucky. She was born on Friday, August 20, 1943, in Clay City, Kentucky, to the late Eugene Setters and the late Martha Ellen Muncie. Mary Alice found great happiness in sewing and in preparing meals for the people she loved. Easter, Christmas, and family gatherings were especially meaningful to her, filling her kitchen with familiar aromas and bringing loved ones together around the table. Through every carefully made stitch and lovingly prepared dish, she expressed her devotion in a quiet and heartfelt way. With her caring nature and hopeful outlook, Mary Alice brought warmth to those around her. She shared a particularly special bond with her children, whom she was very protective over, and whose company she deeply treasured. Generous with her time, attention, and affection, Mary Alice gave selflessly to her family and extended that same kindness to everyone she encountered. Even during difficult days, she met others with a welcoming smile. That simple gesture reflected the strength, grace, and optimism Mary Alice carried with her and offered comfort to those fortunate enough to know her. Mary Alice is survived by one son, Michael Strange of Clay City; two daughters, Patty (Patrick) Overbee of Stanton, and Tina (Jason Southworth) Strange of Richmond; and one grandchild, Jessica Overbee of Stanton.
