She was preceded in death by her parents, and her son David. Mary graduated from St. Elizabeth School of Nursing in 1952. She was also a member of the St. Elizabeth Alumni Association. Mary was a very caring person; which is an important trait for a nurse to have. She was the nurse for the whole neighborhood; before parents would take their kids to the doctors office, they would go see what Mary had to say about it. She also loved her Lord; Mary was a church organist and pianist for many years, she was also a member of Ridgeview Baptist Church. She was part of the Christian Womens Club. Marys true passion in life was her family; she loved her grandchildren, she would play games with them, teach them, and sometimes learn from them. Mary truly loved her family, she will be sorely missed by anyone who was fortunate enough to have known her.
