Mary inspired people with her tenacity, resilience, and wisdom. Mary delivered the best gift ever, in 1965. She gave birth to her bundle of joy, Charles Marble. He would be her only child.

Mary loved spending time with her grandchildren. She doted on them and spoiled them. There wasn't anything she wouldn't do for them. She also loved to shop for clothes, shoes, jewelry, hats, and purses. When she stepped out the house, she was always dressed to the nines.
