Mary Alice Engvall passed away on Wednesday, January 29, 2020. She was born to Jennie Mae Haynes and Otto Sims Miller on August 31, 1934, in Winterhaven, Florida. At the age of 2, her father passed away and the family moved to Winnsboro, South Carolina. She attended the University of South Carolina where she received her education degree. After teaching in local schools, she and her best friend Marlise made the brave decision to move to Winslow, Arizona.
