Mary Helen Gaddis Carr

She was a member of the DAR, Delta Gamma Sorority, an early advocate of wildlife conservation and natural foods.

Mary Helen had a very active life raising 3 boys by 25 years of age. She was very involved in the education of her children. She became the registrar at The Montgomery Academy, making it possible for her sons to attend MA in its infancy. Mary Helen was a second mother to all those who attended MA. During that time, she was heavily involved in her parent’s farm. She was always sensitive to the needs of those less fortunate.

Her life in Point Clear was quite different. She remained very active in the community, St. James Episcopal Church, Lakewood Country Club, and her book club. She loved to put people together and even hosted a gathering for Prime Minister Margaret Thatcher. Mary Helen never met a stranger, for which she will always be remembered.
