She was proud of her family and dearly loved her nieces and nephews and attended as many of their high school and college graduations as she could.

Mardi moved to Huntsville, Alabama in 1963. She graduated with honors among the top 10 students at Huntsville High School in 1975 where she played flute and piccolo in the Panther Band. She graduated from the University of Alabama in 1981 with a Bachelor of Science degree in Microbiology where she also played the flute and piccolo as a member of the Million Dollar Band. While at UA, she was a member and Secretary of the UA Chapter Circle K International Service Club. It was a significant time in her life where she made numerous lifelong friends and memories.

Mardi moved to Birmingham, Alabama in 1981 where she began her professional career at the University of Alabama in Birmingham School of Health Professions as a secretary and where she graduated in 1986 with a Bachelor of Science degree in Medical Records Administration. While at UAB she was a member of the Blazers Basketball Pep Band playing flute and piccolo. She worked at Children's of Alabama 1986-2004 as Medical Staff Services Coordinator and as the Continuing Medical Education Coordinator and often spoke about working for "her doctors."

She retired in 2004 and was a 30-year resident of Vestavia Hills. Mardi had a lifelong love of music and the arts, and in the late 1980s to early 1990s, she was a regular participant in the Birmingham Community Summer Band. She was a voracious reader, especially biographies and medical history. Her years working in Medical Staff and CME at Children's as well as her personal interest gave her a vast knowledge of medicine. Although she didn't have children of her own, she was always a huge advocate for children. Her favorite charity was Kid One Transport. Due to her own neurological health problems, The American Brain Foundation was another charity important to her. Mardi will be laid to rest next week in St. Louis, Missouri at Calvary Catholic Cemetery and Mausoleum.
