Cleo Marie Mason

Graveside services for Cleo Marie Mason, 88, of Diboll will be held Thursday, September 28, 2023 at 10:00 a.m. in the Prairie Grove Cemetery with Brother Roy Hall officiating.

Mrs. Mason was born October 25, 1934 in San Augustine, Texas to the late Edna Mae (Gibson) and Henry Austin Bentley, and died Monday, September 25, 2023 in a local hospital.

Cleo had resided in Diboll most of her life. She worked in the cafeteria at Diboll ISD, which was so fitting, as she was an amazing cook! She could cook anything and she loved to feed her family and friends. Cleo always had something to offer when people stopped by to visit. Everyone especially loved her coconut pies and homemade biscuits. Cleo also loved to quilt, but her greatest passion was her family and spending time with them. She was a member of Lakeview Baptist Church.

Survivors include her children and their spouses, Ray and Cathy Mason of Hudson, Rita and Doug Baldree of Lufkin, Raymond Mason, Terry and Lora Mason, all of Diboll; five grandchildren; seven great-grandchildren; sister, Wilma Adams of Central; brother, Carlton Bentley of Houston; and numerous nieces, nephews and other relatives.

She was preceded in death by her parents; husband, Jack Mason; and son, Lynn Mason.
