In Proverbs, chapter 31, the Bible describes a virtuous woman. Mary Lee can be found all through these precious verses of scripture. Each one of her family members can testify of that fact. She was the epitome of a Godly woman and wife. She loved going to her church, North Weaver Baptist Church, where she was a very active, long time member. Mary also enjoyed time with her family as well. She could often be found going to yard sales with her daughter, Carolyn. They enjoyed that time together very much. All of the children that grew up in Mary's community used to gather at her house for fun and fellowship and sometimes food! They all loved her and she loved them very much. She loved and grew so close to them that she considered all of the neighborhood children as her very own. What a great legacy she has left behind. She will be greatly missed by all of those who had the blessing of knowing her.
