She was a member of the Hickory Grove Church, enjoyed ceramics, and taught ceramic classes for many years. She and her husband enjoyed line dancing, and taking motorcycle trips with their friends, and their many vacations to Florida to stay with family. She enjoyed watching her many hummingbird's she feed and cared for, and all the other animals she would take in and find homes for. She and her husband loved to host the annual 4th of July pool party at their home. She loved preparing all the food, and especially later in the evening all the fireworks they would light off. Mary loved people. Her contagious smile would always light up the room, and she cared for so many in the nursing home, going to visit them and play games with them, always eager to help those in need. An eternal shopper, she loved buying for her family and grandchildren, and was always dressed so nice, makeup on, ready to go. She enjoyed her little doggies that kept her company and always by her side. She dearly loved her family and being with them for any occasion.
