Mary was a devoted wife to my brother, Preston. She took very good care of him while he was so sick. I remember as a young kid, Mary coming to our house with one of my sisters and it was so obvious she was there to see my brother. True love was impossible to hide! A great sister-in-law that we loved dearly and she will be missed by all the Young Family!

Mary was a lovely person who always wore a smile. She was my sister-in-law who all the family loved dearly. It hurt me deeply to see her near death, but the Lord was watching over her and did His will. This life is simply a momentary stopping place, but Mary has gone on to her final home in the sky with our Lord and Savior. The little house at the end of Pine Needle Street will look terribly lonely. Thanks dear Lord for this blessed lady.

My memories of Aunt Mary will always be of her wonderful sense of humor, her great wisdom, and her loving heart. I loved her and Uncle Preston very much, and am happy that she is with him once again.

Seventeen years ago, Mary welcomed our family into her family with her arms and heart open wide! Always, always when I would see her throughout the years, we always met and parted with a hug and an "I love you"...... She was a wonderful lady, a wonderful grandmother NaNa and I thank God that she was such a loving, positive influence in my grandson's lives. She will be missed! My heart goes out to you all. Love, Grandma and Papa
