Peace of mind is a call away. We’re here when you need us most.

To Mary's children and family,
I met Mary when grammar school promoted us to Junior High, and loving sports as Mary did we ended up teammates and this continued through Greenville Senior High School, and continued until God called her home for eternal rest. Mary was truly a lifetime friend and a void has been left that no one can fill. I am thankful for our friendship to have lasted a lifetime! My deepest sympathy to all of you. She is now a "star of Royal Beauty Bright". Merry Christmas in Heaven Mary, I will always remember what a great friend you were.

Love and prayers. Kathy and Ronnie Hargett

Prayers to the family

That smile will be missed by all and the little wink at the moment she saw you. My prayers are with all of you. Love ya Rhonda Traynham Coletta.

My family were members at Paris Mountain Country Club back in the day (I am over 65 years old now). I think Mary knew I could swim/dog paddle to safety...she threw me in the pool and said "you sink or swim"....well I think I did a little of both and made it to safely back to edge of the pool. To this day I LOVE TO SWIM!!! Thanks Mary for believing in me!!!

We are so sorry to learn of Mary's death. We will be in prayer for the entire family during this difficult time. We love each of you. Linda & Jimmy Ray

Josh and Jay and the family. I’m am sorry for your loss. She was beautiful inside and out.
