She was also preceded in death by six of her siblings. Mary was a para-pro for 25 plus years at J.S. Pate School where she loved each and every one of her children and she was loved dearly in return. She enjoyed being a homemaker, keeping her home immaculate and cooking for her family. She was an avid gardener with her vegetables and flowers. She harvested her vegetables and being the selfless person that she was, she also enjoyed sharing her bounty with others. She enjoyed sewing and was always happy to be on a camping trip. Her biggest passion in life was her family and especially loving and spending time with her grandchildren.
