Mary Windon Wyer

Mrs. Mary Wyer, 91, of Charlotte, NC passed peacefully on September 14, 2012 at CMC-Pineville surrounded by her loving family following a brief illness. She was born on January 6, 1921 in Clarksburg, WV, a daughter of the late Orville T. and Grace R. Windon.

Mary graduated from Washington Irving High School in 1938, after never missing a day of school. While in high school, Mary distinguished herself as a vibrant actress, public speaker, and head cheerleader.

She began her working career in Clarksburg with Steptowe and Johnson LLP. Then after years as a wife, mother and homemaker, she returned to work outside of the home, first as a researcher for the Environmental Protection Agency, executive secretary with Scandura Inc. for 18 years; and finally with Dillards at Southpark for 9 years.

Mary’s favorite activity and pastime was her love of golf. She excelled as a player, first at Sunnycroft Golf Club in Clarksburg, where she won the women’s title in 1946, then later on in Charlotte at Sharon Golf Club and Carmel Country Club, where she won several championships. She also enjoyed playing bridge with “the girls”.

In addition to her parents, she was preceded in death by the love of her life, her husband, Iris C. Wyer. Also preceding her in death were two sisters and three brothers.

Mary is survived by her daughter, Kimberly Robards of Denver, Co.; son, Gregg Wyer and his wife Lilliam of Charlotte; grandson, Christopher Wyer and his wife Janice, and their son Jonathan, of Windsor, Ontario, Canada; along with several nieces. The family would like to extend thanks to the loving staff at CMC-Pineville for the care of Mary during her illness.

The service will be held at 2 p.m. on Tuesday, September 18, 2012 in the Francis Chapel of Myers Park United Methodist Church. Burial at Evergreen Cemetery will be private. The family will receive friends from 6 until 8 p.m. on Monday evening at Harry & Bryant, 500 Providence Road.
