Mary was born on November 30, 1975, in La Grange, Kentucky, to the late John Jumper Sr. and Diane Jumper (Williams).
In 1997, Mary married the love of her life, Roy. Together, they shared 29 wonderful years of marriage and were blessed with three beautiful daughters.
A devoted Christian, Mary was a faithful member of Shively Christian Church. Her faith was the foundation of her life, and she found great comfort and strength in reading Scripture.
Mary was a dedicated member of the Women's Circle Club, where she helped foster a supportive and empowering community of women. She also devoted time to writing letters to incarcerated individuals, offering words of encouragement, hope, and faith in an effort to inspire personal growth and positive change.
For 23 years, Mary worked as a travel agent with Travel Authority, UPS Team. She loved helping others plan meaningful trips and was known for her dedication, kindness, and exceptional care.
Mary will be remembered for her compassionate heart, steadfast faith, and the love she shared with her family, friends, and all who had the privilege of knowing her. She was always a, "You cannot tell me nothing about me nor God" kind of woman.
