"'She was in Israel for six months studying Hebrew in order to go back to Togo to translate the Old Testament. Mary was an extremely popular and competent colleague and we valued her very highly. She will be sorely missed by her ex-pat colleagues and colleagues from Togo.'" -Eddie Arthur, Executive Director, Wycliffe

(Jerusalem, Israel)—Wycliffe Bible Translators are sad to announce the death of their member Mary Gardner in a terrorist explosion in Jerusalem on 23 March 2011, where she was studying Hebrew at The Home for Bible Translators.

According to BBC News reports: "Ms. Gardner, an evangelical Christian and Bible translator, leaves behind her parents who live in Orkney, according to the Press Association. She had spent much of her life living in Togo, West Africa, where she worked for Wycliffe Bible Translators.

"Executive director Eddie Arthur described her as a 'lovely lady who was very popular'. He said: 'Mary worked with Wycliffe in Togo since 1989 where she was part of a team translating the New Testament into a language called Ife. The New Testament was finished in 2009 and Mary had then gone on to work helping other people.

"She was in Israel for six months studying Hebrew in order to go back to Togo to translate the Old Testament. Mary was an extremely popular and competent colleague and we valued her very highly. She will be sorely missed by her ex-pat colleagues and colleagues from Togo."
