Mary was a longtime member of Weaver First United Methodist Church, where she served in a number of capacities.

As a dedicated homemaker, Mary’s delicious, homemade meals were enjoyed by family and friends alike. Ballgames were always on her agenda whether in person or on the TV.

She and Jackie were their best cheerleaders. She loved her grandchildren and great-grandchildren well. She was thrilled to be with them at every opportunity. Camping and wintering in Florida at Winter Quarters was a favorite during their retirement years.
