Professionally Mary worked at Dura Automotive until they closed.

Mary liked to pass time by being outside gardening and growing flowers. Making trips to find a bargain at yard sales and flea markets was something Mary looked forward to. Playing cards and watching scary movies were also things Mary enjoyed, while staying at Maple Lawn, she enjoyed putting together puzzles.  Being with family, especially her grandkids meant the world to Mary.  Before Bill passed, they truly loved spending time together on the farm.

The family would like to give special thanks to LaBelle Manor, Wendy Howe, Lori Butts, Maple Lawn Nursing Home, Marshall Jones and Nadine Barbee for the care they provided to Mary.

Mary was a Christian by faith.
