She was also a longtime member of the Mooresville Church of Christ. She never met a stranger, and if you were a friend, you quickly became family. She was well known around Mooresville by many and will be greatly missed.

What a sweet heart ߒ“ I have never met a more caring, beautiful soul. Being friends for almost 30 years we had a wonderful connection. She would call my husband, Don her buddy and when he retired 12 years ago they became even closer. He thought of her as his Momma. They always had each other’s backs. We will miss her so much. Even lately when she hadn’t been feeling well, she would say everything is, Wonderful. I love you so much and will miss your smiling face. Knowing I’ll see you again makes me happy. Rest easy in the arms of the LORDߙϰߏܢ٥️ Don and Julie Reckelhoff
She will be missed dearly n it makes me sad i will never see her again. She is and was a great woman it made me look forward to sundays to see her at arbys. She always said” see you later everybody.” I hope she gets to be with her mom n is smiling big up in the sky. We love you Mary and hope to see you in the heavens one day. Stephanie Roberts

Mary was a sweetheart. I met her at the bank, she would come through my line. Mary was also outspoken and so much fun. I really appreciated her and her joy of life. I am so glad our paths crossed. Prayers to family.
At 90 years old, she would walk everyday & lots of times put our newspaper on the bench by the garage. ( she walked very early) . She was 10 years older than me, and had more “get up & go” than someone half her age. It will be strange not to see her picking up sticks by the side of the road. Fly high, neighbor. Hope to see you again.. Jan Mong
