Mary was a graduate of Reindhardt College and Georgia State University and her career was spent in business administration. Upon retiring from Wells Fargo Armored after more than 15 years, she was very active in her community. She volunteered at the Atlanta Track Club and for many years could be seen helping on the awards stage at the Peachtree Road Race. In addition, she was also involved with Track and Field during the 1996 Olympic Games in Atlanta. Mary was an avid reader and volunteered at many book drives in and around Atlanta. In the 1980’s she served as National President of Phi Chi Theta, a fraternity founded to promote higher business education for all. She was a long-time member of Westminster Presbyterian and served on the Missions Committee.

The family would like to thank her neighbors, Donna and Karen, for their friendship and for everything they did over the years; her pastors Aaron and Erik, as well as Andrea and Kimberly from Full Heart Homecare and Sacred Journey Hospice for making her last days comfortable.

A service will be held in Atlanta at a future date.
