Mary received a horse as a gift from her mother at 6 years old when her father died. The horse, named Ginger had a stall out back of her grandpa’s home where she grew up just off the square in Carthage, MO. Mary was a champion swimmer and diver as a teenager. Ginger road the train east with Mary to attend Sullins College in Virginia for a couple of years. Then Mary matriculated to Washington University in St Louis where she majored in Politic Science and met a young medical student on a double-blind date. They married and life with the military took them on the road from the Midwest and eventually they landed in Winston-Salem, NC where they took root and raised a family.
Mary excelled in friends, community, gardening, artistic crafts, athletics, a supportive role to Dick, and creating a home and raising a family. She was a champion as mother, always encouraging and ready for adventure. Her smile, kindness, grace, wit, energy, and commitment were her trademarks. Mary was a wonderful role model for all who follow in her path.
She passed peacefully on February 9th, 2022, at Arbor Acres. The family is grateful for the loving care of many staff at Arbor Acres over the past decade. The communal support of Mary and Dicks friends over the years in town, at St Paul’s, and Arbor Acres has been a comfort and inspiration. Angie Hendrix was a match made in heaven for the past eight years for Mary and Dick. Her companionship and care were invaluable.
A memorial will be held at a later date when family can gather to celebrate her life well lived. She will be interred in the garden at St Paul’s Episcopal Church in Winston-Salem. Details will be announced in coming weeks. Any memorial gifts please make to St Paul’s Episcopal Church.
