Mary was better known to her family and friends as “Nanny.” She enjoyed watching NASCAR, watching her “stories” on TV, and listening to country and Gospel music.
Nanny was originally from Oneonta. Even though she moved out of the country, she remained a country girl at heart. She always enjoyed cooking for family gatherings and holidays.
Our Nanny will be missed but never forgotten. She will live on in the hearts of her family and friends.
The family would like to thank Compassus Hospice Nurses for the tender care they extended to Nanny.
Visitation will be held on Monday, June 6, 2022, at 11:00 a.m. at Jefferson Memorial Funeral Home, Trussville. Followed by Chapel Services at 12:00 p.m. The eulogy will be delivered by Nanny’s friend and neighbor, Polly McClure.
