She was preceded in death by her loving husband, Joseph Eugene Lindsey, a native of Foley, Alabama, whom she met while he was stationed in New Jersey with the US Army. “Mary and Joseph” appropriately married on Christmas Day in 1945. Mary was very proud to be the daughter of a Scottish Mother, Helen Hopkirk Inciso, and an Italian Father, John Louis Inciso. She grew up in a home full of love shared with 7 sisters and 2 brothers. Except for the youngest sister, Betty Inciso Francis, her parents and siblings preceded her in death. Mary bravely moved with her husband and children to the Deep South to raise their family.

Mary was devoted to her family and was a very talented cook and seamstress. She learned to be an expert in Southern cuisine, as well as sharing her Italian cooking skills. Mary’s seamstress skills created many stunning styles from an Azalea Trail dress to recital and Mardi Gras costumes. She loved to knit creating many special items for her family. Later in life, Mary began a career in the retail business with Hammels’s in downtown Mobile, and later with the lingerie department in Dillard’s at Bel Air Mall. The family would like to thank SAAD’s Hospice Care for their wonderful loving care.
