Mary was a caring mother, grandmother, and great grandmother. She dearly loved her family.
Mary is remembered by many as a crossing guard at St. Richard’s and worked for many years in the daycare at Broadmoor Baptist Church. Mary’s grandsons fondly remember visiting her at the daycare with their grandfather, spending the night on weekends, trips to the coast, playing cards, and celebratory meals at their home.
In addition to her parents, Mary is preceded in death by her husband, R. B.; her son, Alan; sisters, Hassie Currie, Orene C. Aultman, Edith C. Molpus, and brother, Walter Ray Currie.
She is survived by her children, Anne Peery, Pam Hodges (Rodney), Phil Peery; grandsons, Brian Hodges (Cheryl), David Hodges (Stephanie), 7 great grandchildren, and 5 great-great grandchildren; and a host of nieces and nephews.
