Mary graduated from Millikin University with a bachelor’s degree in accounting. Shortly after, she started her career with the Sangamon Paper Co. and was currently employed by the State of Illinois. She was a member of Taylorville First Christian Church, and her faith and trust were in the Lord! Mary lived for and loved her family and friends. Her only child, Robby, was the light of her life. She was known affectionately as “Muffin” by her granddaughter, Gabi. Mary blessed her family and friends with many happy memories and stories to share. She loved traveling with her husband, especially visiting Tennessee to see her family and attend reunions. Mary looked forward to family gatherings and sharing sips of coke with all her nieces and nephews. She loved taking photos of her family and has left them with a legacy of special memories. Her kindness touched many lives, and she will be missed dearly by all.
