Oh my, I went on Baker High's page and saw that Mary had died and it brought back so many memories.  She and I had many years being close neighbors and friends on Morningside Dr.  We use to lie on the ground and look at clouds and describe what animal we saw, we ate Muscadines that grew at her home place, always combing trees and going home when it was dark.  Lots of great memories.  She was always sweet,  I am so sorry for your loss.

God bless.

Mary Elizabeth

My sincere condolences to Marvin. I will always cherish my teenage years and an introduction to NASCAR that I got to share with both of you and my Daddy. Rest in peace Mary.

Our heart was broken to hear of Ms. Mary's getting her Angel Wings. She was always a blessing to me and my family but especially to mother Lena Myers.  I know mom and Ms. Mary are having a wonderful time on those Streets of Gold.  I would have never imagined their passing would have been so close together. I will always have precious memories of Ms. Mary and her Tuesday Bible Study classes that she continued after the closing of Oates Ave. Baptist.  Praying for Marvin and the family I know she held y'all together.  Love to everyone. Judy and Don McCrone and family

When I came to Oates Avenue Baptist Church Mary & Marvin were some of the sweetest people that welcomed me with open arms.  One year, our Sunday School class decided to have a couple's retreat in Eufala.  Marvin & Mary decided to go with us and oh what fun they brought to all our sessions!  Mary always had a smile on her face & loving arms to give you a hug.  She will be truly missed!  Prayers for Marvin & her family for strength, comfort and peace.
Love,
Dennis & Carol Walsh

Such a loving and caring person. Always sweet and professional. Truly took care of her Family. Heaven has her wings now and she will be watching with love. Mary you will surely be missed !

My deepest sympathy to you Marvin . Mary was such a sweet lady who I will never forget. She had such a gentle and wise way about her.  I have wonderful memories of you both from Oates Avenue Baptist Church .  Ones I will always cherish.  Sending love and prayers. 

Meme was fun, funny and had a way of making you feel like you mattered even as she was dashing from here to there. We loved her dearly. She was The Matriarch. She had integrity and wild, sneaky streak. I felt like she expressed that side with her stories and her hot, cherry-red Charger. Even in her mid-80s she talked about how guys a fifth of her age would pull up beside her at a light and just not know what to do with all her white-haired glam. She’d leave them in the dust.❣️

Mrs Mary was our first Sunday School teacher when we merged with East Highland. Occasionally,  she would ask me to read a small scripture for the class. A small piece of paper with the book, chapter and verses would accompany her request. I found one of those small pieces of paper this past Sunday. I never told her that I did not relish reading out loud in front of groups. We will treasure our time with Mrs Mary and I will be blessed with a memory of her every time I come across one of those small pieces of paper placed in my Bible.  
Marvin,
I pray that the comfort of our Lord will be with you and the family. 
Love,
John & Mary Houston 

I loved Mary so much and will never forget her.




Sending prayers and heartfelt love to Marvin in the loss of his dear wife, Mary, and all the family. To know her was to love her! We have so many precious memories of our time worshiping together at Oates Avenue Baptist. One fond memory we have of her was her thoughtfulness and love to us and others demonstrated by the cards she was so faithful to send to others. Mrs. Mary will be missed on this earth, but Praise God we will meet again one Glorious Day!
Love and prayers,
Benny and Debbie

Marvin, Stuart and family:  
Ms Mary was one of the sweetest ladies I have ever met. We are so sorry to hear of her passing.  I always enjoyed talking and visiting with her at the office. 
May your precious memories of her give you all peace and comfort. 
Praying for all of you during this sad time.

Heaven gained a special angel with our Aunt Mary. She was truly one of the kindest southern ladies you will ever know. She never missed a special time in our lives. We love you and will miss you.  Becky, Chris and Evan

Mary you will be missed. I am so sad your time came so quickly. You for sure will have a special place in Heaven for all your good deeds done here on earth. I have Marvin in my prayers and I pray for God to give him peace and comfort for days ahead. The lost of  your spouse is  the worse.  Marvin I am here for you if you want to talk. Try to remember your good memories of  Mary.
Love,

We are so sadden to learn of Mary pasting. We will not be available to attend services. Mama is currently hospitalized with Covid and I am awaiting test results. We will be with you and the family.in our thoughts and prayers.

Mary was a true saint in every sense of the word. Her love for everyone was so apparent and she was so loved in return. She was my first customer in the beauty salon, and I quickly learned to love her.  She was much more than a customer- she was a true friend. She will be so missed by everyone who knew her.  We will get praying for Marvin and Stewart as they make this transition. ❤️❤️❤️🙏🏻🙏🏻🙏🏻

Dear Marvin: I am so sorry to hear the sad news about Mary. Sincere condolences to you in your deep loss. We will be praying for you and remembering you today and in the days ahead.
