Mary Stansell Lovvorn, 84, of Cullman, Alabama, passed away on May 17, 2023. She was born on December 11, 1938 in Cullman, Alabama to the late parents of Hughdon and Pauline Bowen. Mary was a child of God, and loving mother and grandmother who understood the power of simple things in life like a bowl of Cheetos and a smile to her grandchildren and a loving smile to all others.
Mary graduated with an Associate’s Degree in Nursing from Wallace State Community College in 1977. She worked her entire career at Cullman Regional Medical Center, where she served as the Charge Nurse for the nursery. In 1983, Mary was recognized for her expertise in well baby nursery care in an article published in the Cullman Times. As a registered nurse she was known for being well prepared and an advocate for her babies. Mary’s caring nature extended beyond the nursery and into her community, where she was quick to assist family and neighbors in need.
Mary was a member of Seventh Street Baptist Church, where she worshiped with family and friends. Outside of work and church, Mary enjoyed reading, and gardening. She had a green thumb and loved spending time planting flowers and caring for her lawn.
