Mary worked for years as a secretary at Red River Army Depot before retiring in 1975. She was a dedicated and loyal employee. She was a lifelong member of Rose Hill Baptist Church in Texarkana. After moving to Little Rock, Arkansas, Mary became a member of Calvary Baptist Church where she made many friends. She had a special relationship with her best friend, Mary Howell where they shared birthday celebrations, lunch dates, flea market shopping, and many stories.
Her biggest love was for her family. She loved being with them and sharing stories of life-long memories. She loved going to the horse races with her daughters, granddaughter, and great granddaughter which became a tradition for her birthday celebration every year. She loved traveling with her family. She made trips to San Antonio, Branson, Grand Ole Opry, St. Louis, and even traveling across the country to California visiting historic sites. On her eightieth birthday we celebrated her birthday on her first cruise. She also loved going to Orange Beach to watch the beautiful waves and dolphins in the ocean.
