Mary was a dear friend. We had lots of fun times together. I will definitely miss her.
Mary was such a special person. I worked at Union Bank in Henderson and she in Oxford. She was always helpful in answering questions and helping solve any situation that arose. She was a great mentor and one of a Union Bank’s greatest assets. She was a great co-worker and I learned a great deal from her. She will be greatly missed.
Prayers to all the family.
Mary was a great friend and coworker. Always willing to listen and help. My sympathy to Ray and Famil. Fly high my friend
Ray and family, Jerry and I are so sadden by the passing of Mary. I remember Mary from when our kids were at Webb. And in recent years at Thanksgiving and fish fry gatherings at Dennis and Tammie’s. The side dishes Mary would bring were always a crowd pleaser. One thing for sure Mary loved that grandson Zayne and her family. Always the topic of her conversation. She was a joy to be around listening to her talk. Prayers for comfort .in days to follow.
