The family would like to thank all who supported with calls, flowers, cards, visits, and most of all thanks for the prayers. She has gone home peacefully and is no longer in discomfort. Thanks again.
The family has requested a private service with Pastor David Honeycutt officiating. A Celebration of Life will be held Saturday, October 11, 2014 at Skyland First Baptist Church Family Life Center at 1:00 pm.
The family requests that in lieu of flowers, memorial donations be made in Mary's memory to Skyland First Baptist Church Family Life Center, P.O. Box 278, Skyland, NC 28776 or to a charity of one's choice.

Mary I will always remember you as a sweet, compassionate person, who also had great fashion sense. My mom has been a long term Crescent View resident and Mary you were ALWAYS caring and thoroughly professional as we dealt with my Mom’s changing needs. Rest peacefully in the Lords loving arms.
