Mary was a huge lover of all animals, and her motto was, “They are God’s creatures and deserve to be fed. ” She had several pets and loved feeding all the wild critters outside. Her daddy gave her the nickname “Mutt” because every time she went out to play, she would come back with a stray dog. Mary retired from Fruit of the Loom on Church Street after 35 years. She loved watching Andy Griffith, Gunsmoke, Bonanza and Wheel of Fortune. Mary loved God and her family dearly. Also, a very special thank you to Jackie Haswell for caring for grandma.
