She brought a lot of life to this world. She loved traveling, she traveled throughout the United States when she was younger, She’s been a little bit of everywhere until she found her Home in Dixie County Florida 31 years ago. Mom was full of life and truly independent. She loved the outdoors she also loved barbecuing and enjoyed feeding people, she made the best potato salad and deviled eggs I ever had. She loved her flowers and birds but her favorite Love of All was the Water, She loved Fishing and Crabbing she spent many many wonderful hours and hours of her life at the water (salt water or fresh water didn’t matter.) and sometimes not even fishing at all just staring off into the water and saying this is so peaceful. I will miss all the old stories Mom told me that happened throughout her life, we used to sit and fish and I would listen to her reminisce. I will give anything to hear her voice again telling me her stories that I wish would never end and when they did I would say Mom Please let’s go fishing and do this all again. So when you see the ocean think of Mary (Mom) because that’s where she’ll be traveling the world once again touching every Sea. Mom one day we’ll meet again, until then I will be Fishing with you by the sea. Love and Miss You so Very Very Much Mom. She will be Deeply Missed By Many and Truly Loved by ALL. NOT TRULY GONE and NEVER FORGOTTEN. REST IN PEACE MOM. We All Love You Mom and Miss You Dearly ALWAYS.
