Mary’s pride and joy were her family and her church, where she was a member of the choir, and often volunteered with the Food Pantry. She loved being a mother and grandmother, and she never hesitated to let people know how proud she was of her family. Anyone who knew her, would say she didn’t know a stranger. Her generosity, cheerful attitude and kindness will be missed by many.
The family would like to thank Pastor Matt Evans, and Mary’s church family at Christ Community United Methodist Church, the friends and community of Lions Springs Retirement Living, the ICU medical staff at UNC Chapel Hill Neurosciences, Rex Digestive Healthcare, UNC Healthcare Johnston - ER, WakeMed Vascular and Cardiology, Garner Internal Medicine, and Duke Cancer Center for their compassion and excellent care.
Memorials may be made to Christ Community United Methodist Church in Clayton, NC.
McLaurin Funeral Home of Clayton is serving the family.
