Mary was a long-time resident of Jessamine County. She enjoyed attending church, shopping, Western and Country gospel programs, good food and milkshakes. Mary was just a simple person. She didn’t live life with high expectations. She just took things for what they were and kept moving right along. No matter what it was, she would always say, "Just pray about it."

Mary, will be missed beyond measure and will be remembered not only for her contagious smile, but also for being a genuine, kind and selfless loving person. She will forever be loved by her family and friends because she loved them no matter what until the very end.

Mary left this earth with peace knowing that she was going to be welcomed into the arms of her Lord and Savior and be reunited with her family and friends who had gone on before her.

"I want to stroll over Heaven with you some glad day. " We Love you more.
