Mary Alice Busby

Mary Alice was born on November 9, 1928, in Odell, Texas, to John and Ella (Green) Anderson. In 1947, she married the love of her life, Bennett Busby. Together, they raised two children and built a life grounded in love and devotion. Known for her loyalty, strong work ethic, and sharp mind, Mary Alice dedicated more than 35 years of service to Jackson Vending before retiring.

A devoted member of the Freetown Road Church of Christ, Mary Alice was a woman of deep and enduring faith. Her love for the Lord shone through her gentle spirit, servant’s heart, and steadfast devotion to her family. She treasured staying connected with loved ones through handwritten letters. She also found joy in tending her garden, where she grew beautiful irises and vegetables, and in baking family favorites, including peach cobbler, coconut cream pie, and blonde brownies.

Mary Alice was preceded in death by her beloved husband, Bennett Busby, and her sisters, Mildred Chandler and Ruby Imogene Woolf.

Mary Alice’s legacy of faith and love will live on through the family she cherished. She is survived by her son, Charles Busby, and his wife, Melody; her daughter, Sandra Busby; her grandchildren, Clark Freeman, Tyler Teachman and his wife, Serena, and Justin Teachman and his wife, Ashley; and her great-granddaughters, Sicily and Seraphina Teachman.
