Mary was truly a woman who feared God. She believed in her
ministry that was built on love. Her mission was to draw many
people unto the Lord. Lil Mary was known for how she blessed
others, even if she didn’t have it, no matter who or whom you
were, Mary’s personality was just like Ruth in the Bible, who
loved to smile and was very outgoing. She loved cooking and one
of her favorite gospel songs was I Won’t Let You Fall by Helen
Miller. She served in her church faithfully, until her illness,
which didn’t stop her from doing God’s work. Mary’s favorite
saying was, “If God don’t do it, it won’t get done.”
