She worked at the hospital for many years before moving to Phelps County Regional Hospice. Mary was the hospice nurse that everyone loved. She would take care of the patient but more important she took care of their families as if they were her own family. As a child Mary learned to sew, ride a bike, fish and the joys of camping. Mary was an excellent cook and could make and bake anything. She would spend days getting ready for Thanksgiving and her pumpkin pies were the world's best. Mary's favorite holiday was Christmas. Christmas was her time to spoil her husband, children, grandchildren and other family. She would spend hours shopping, wrapping and preparing for that special day. Mary enjoyed being outdoors, traveling and spending time with family. If you asked Mary how her family was, her eyes would light up and a big smile would occur. She loved her family, loved spoiling them and prayed for all of them every day. Mary and Jerry were attending the New Testament Baptist Church in Sullivan for the last few years. Mary was a loving daughter, sister, wife, mother, grandmother, aunt, cousin, sister-in-law, friend and "Angel" sent from above for lots of people.
