Born on September 9, 1949 at St. Joseph’s Hospital in Phoenix, Arizona, she was the eldest daughter of Eddie and Barbara (Baker) Pullins. Mary was preceded in death by her parents and older brother, Micheal. She is survived by her sister, Trish (Dean) Crum, daughters, Ginger (Garnet) Stevens, Kelly Sindel, Megan (Mitch) Tippetts and Wendy (Nic Holladay) Sindel, grandchildren, Sam Tippetts, Ben Tippetts, Charlotte Tippetts, Clara Rose Stevens, Isabell Stevens and Rowan Drummond.
Mary loved her family and friends and was a devout member of The Church of Jesus Christ of Latter-day Saints. She graduated from Glendale High School, completed her bachelor's degree in Law Enforcement from Brigham Young University and completed her master's degree in Education Leadership at Northern Arizona University. During her life she served in many callings with her church and one of her favorites was as a temple worker. Mary loved traveling, although she was not as adventurous with exploring new food as she was with exploring new places. She was employed as the Head Administrative Assistant in the GCC Math Department for over 20 years and retired in 2014. A talented pianist and artist, she also loved to sing. Mary was very social and was always looking for ways to serve those around her. She was known for her sense of humor and generosity towards others. Her family was a central part of her life and she loved being surrounded by them.
A memorial service will be held on Saturday, July 23,2022 at 11:30 AM at The Church of Jesus Christ of Latter-day Saints chapel located at 5250 W. Thunderbird Road, Glendale, AZ 85306. For those not able to travel, here is the zoom link info for the broadcast of the funeral.
