Mary had a quiet demeanor about her but was a very caring person. Mary never bothered anyone because she was a peaceful person. To know her was to love her. She loved her church and her job. She was very dedicated to whatever task she had to perform. As an employee you couldn't have asked for a better worker. She was one of those people that remembered to send her family and close friends all kinds of special occasion cards such as birthdays, Christmas and Easter and sometimes just because cards. She was so thoughtful in making sure you got the cards on time, she would send them anywhere from two weeks to a month early. She will be truly missed by her loved ones. The viewing will be held at Aikens Funeral Home on Friday, October 5th, from 5-8 p.m. The family will receive friends from 6:30-7:30 p.m. The family and friends are asked to meet at the church on Saturday for the service.
