Mary was born to Ralph and Lola Nash on April 19, 1925 in Sullivan, Indiana and was the oldest of three children. She grew up in St. Petersburg, Florida and later moved to New Jersey, then to Trenton, Texas and eventually to Grand Prairie, where she lived most of her life.
Mary met Joe Walsh in the summer of 1942 and they married in November that same year. Early in their marriage of over 40 years, Joe and Mary were blessed with 4 daughters: Mary Jo, Judy, Patty, and Linda.
Mary was a longtime member of Inglewood Baptist Church, teaching Sunday school, as well as enjoying activities and trips with her Keenager friends. She worked as an electronic technician for E-Systems for 32 years. There was nothing Mary loved more than spending time with her family cooking, laughing, playing games, advising, and overall just being with us…and let’s not forget she was an avid Cowboys and Ranger’s fan!
Mary was a Godly woman who loved Jesus and doing for others. She touched more lives than we will ever be able to know with her generosity and time.
Mary was proceeded in death by her husband, Joe Walsh; her parents, Ralph and Lola Nash; her siblings, Bobby and Dottie; and her daughter, Linda Bailey.
