Mary McKinnie-Wade

A lifelong Georgian native, Mary was well-loved amongst all of her family and friends. Despite her large family Mary always made time for everyone. She always provided support and love for her family. Mary was a nurse at Gracewood in Augusta and volunteered at numerous nursing homes, including the VA. Mary adored people and never met a stranger. She adored waking up every morning and speaking to her birds at her bird feeder. She was a loving mother and great-grandmother to her family who always welcomed everyone with a hug. Her family says she left this place a lot better than the way she found it.

Mary was preceded in death by her husband of 20 years, Delphine Wade; three sons, Tommy McKinnie, James McKinnie and Coy Victor McKinnie; granddaughter, Shannon McKinnie; great-grandson, Maverick McKinnie; and great-great-grandson, Carson Anderson. She is survived by her loving and devoted daughter, Ida Akin (Jerry), 16 grandchildren; 30-great-grandchildren; and 24 great-great-grandchildren.

Funeral services will be held at 11am on Friday, November 18, 2022 at the Columbia Road Chapel of Elliott Sons Funeral Home with Pastor Donald Prosser officiating.
