And her beloved companion Boy who will be lost without her.

Mary was a kind hearted and loving Devine resident for over 38 yrs and was best known for her beautiful yard that she devoted all her time to during the Spring and Summer months. She could be seen watering her plants, sitting outside and enjoying the cool breeze or warm sunshine. She could also be found singing to her favorite music, which she loved to listen to while cleaning house or just passing time.That was her pleasure. She was loved by many including her life long neighbors who would stop in to check on her and just enjoy her company.

She attended Betania Baptist regularly, until her health prevented her to do but she was fortunate to have some wonderful and caring church friends who would bring her bible study and the word of God to her home when she could no longer attend church services. She kept her faith very close to her heart.

She had battled a heart condition and other illnesses and fought to remain strong for as long as she could but she left us,  just as she wished she would, in her home peacefully in her sleep.

She was greatly loved and will be greatly missed!!
