Mary was one of the friendliest ladies I know. Always a happy spirit. Jerry and I will never forget her kindness and their visit to Duke hospital to see us when Jerry was going through his cancer battle. And since then your mama always asked me how Jerry is doing. We will miss her as a friend and as a member of Stovall Methodist Church.

April 15, 2016 at 12:54 pmIt was a privilege to have known Mary, whom I met in our days together at The Bank Mart. She had the kind of integrity, energy, and humor that characterizes a person of stature. My wife and I were pleased to have been able to visit Mary and Dick during their retirement in North Carolina, in the late 1990’s. Count me among those who will remember.
