Mary Ellen Garner Pardue

HI EVERYONE....LOOKING FORWARD TO THE REUNION......

I MARRIED JAMES PARDUE RIGHT OUT OF HIGH SCHOOL AND GOD BLESSED US WITH 3 WONDERFUL CHILDREN, 2 SONS, STEVE AND BILL AND A DAUGHTER, TAMMY. WE WERE ALSO BLESSED WITH 8 GRANDCHILDREN AND 1 GREAT GRAND DAUGHTER.


WE MOVED FROM CHATTANOOGA IN 1967, JAMES ACCEPTED A JOB WITH
MCCROYS. AND WE SPENT THE NEXT SEVERAL YEARS IN PARTS OF GEORGIA AND FLORIDA.

I WAS A STAY AT HOME WIFE AND MOTHER UNTIL MY DAUGHTER STARTED
SCHOOL IN 1976. I WENT TO WORK FOR A BANK. I STILL WORK PART TIME FOR BANK OF AMERICA, THIS WILL BE MY 35TH YEAR.

WE HAD A WONDERFUL LIFE TOGETHER, 43 YEARS OF MARRIAGE, WHEN JAMES PASSED AWAY IN NOV 2004 WITH LUNG CANCER. I MISS HIM EVERYDAY.

I LIVE IN WINDER, GA. AND ALL MY CHILDREN ARE CLOSE BY. I KEEP BUSY WITH FAMILY AND FRIENDS. I'M VERY ACTIVE IN MY CHURCH AND OF COURSE MY JOB.
