Mary was an accomplished artist, writer, and musician. Her artwork and floral arrangements brought joy and beauty to many. She shared her love for music as the organist at First Baptist Church of New Caney for many years, uplifting the hearts of all who worshipped alongside her.

Mary had a deep passion for genealogy and spent many joyful hours researching her family’s history, uncovering fascinating stories and connections. Professionally, she held positions with Waste Management in Houston, Sears & Roebuck, and worked as a reporter and editor for the El Dorado News-Times in El Dorado, Arkansas.

Mary lived a full and meaningful life, filled with creativity, faith, and love for her family and community.
