So sorry to hear this. Mary was such a sweet lady. Always had open arms for anyone. We met her when we were on vacation in Tenn. Back years ago.Her and my mom would talk forever and we all just hit it off from there. I moved to NWA in 1990 and found the Rankins and she always welcomed me and my girls. Sweetest lady ever. Fly high mrs. Mary and see ya when we get there. I will forever remember your caring heart and beautiful smile.
