Died after sustaining a head injury in an accident. She was a 1978 graduate of Northside High School and a member (although not active) of 17th Street Baptist Church. Mary had a great love of the outdoors and music. She spent the last days of her life doing the things she loved best, with her hands in the earth and her face in the sun. Through Mary's generosity as an organ donor, many others were made happy and hopeful.
