Mary Aguirre, 75, passed away Saturday, November 9, 2019 in her home. Mary never met a stranger; she always had an open ear and an open heart. She graduated college from Hillsborough Bible College where she met her husband, Harvey, who preceded her in death in 2013. She followed him throughout his career as a reverend. In the 1970’s she received her EMT-basic certification and LPN license. She worked as a supervisor at the Healton Nursing Home in Oklahoma. In 1982 she received her RN license and started working at Sparks Hospital with kidney dialysis patients. She loved each and every one for the 15 years she was there. She retired, and then had a calling to go back into nursing, where she could help. After 5 years of working with patients at Peachtree Hospice, at the age of 71, she decided to retire again. She loved to go camping and fishing every chance she had. Most of all, she loved spending time with family. She was a member of Greenwood First Free Will Baptist Church.
She is survived by two daughters, Laura Aguirre-Treat and spouse, Brandie and Kimberly Aguirre Garcia; four grandchildren, Hayden Aguirre-Treat, Tyler Lincks, Taylor Christian and Raven Garcia and seven great grandchildren, Luca Garcia, Connor and Lynnlie Lincks, Malekai, Brooklyn, Elijah and Ariana Christian.
