She loved camping with family, quilting, tennis, walking and sharing special moments with family and friends. She was truly loved by all who met her and shared time. Most of all Mary’s faith was steadfast and strong in Bible study and she rarely missed a Sunday where she was a member of Calvary Baptist Church.
