To have known, whom some called "Ms. Mary" made you a better person and you had a true friend. I will deeply miss my momma; however, I have comfort knowing where my momma is, with Jesus, and that one day of His choosing I will see my momma again. John 14:3 says – If I go and prepare a place for you, I will come back and take you to be with me that you also may be where I am. One day those who know Christ Jesus our Lord will see His face, reflect His love, and know one another even as we ourselves are known. There's no capping the peace this gives to me and others who loved my momma for the days ahead.
Rob and I would like to thank the entire family at Fair Haven Forest City, NC for their professionalism, care and love along with our Mercy Church Family, Ahoskie, NC and New Jerusalem Baptist Church Family, Greer, SC for your continued prayers.
The Family will receive friends at McFarland Funeral Home Chapel, 54 McFarland Dr, Tryon, NC, Friday, August 16, 2024, from 6 :00 pm -7 :00 pm, with Celebration of Life Service to follow at 7:00 pm.
A Celebration of Life and Living will also be held in her hometown on Saturday, October 12, 2024, from 11:00 am – 3:00 pm at Field of Dreams Activity Center, 1145 Treadway Dr, Dandridge, TN.
Her daughter may be reached at: 901 Laurelwood Way, Landrum, SC 29356
