Mary was a member of the church of God’s Elect and read the Holy Scriptures daily and prayed extensively all her life, believing strongly in her Lord and Savior Jesus Christ. She loved sharing her faith with everyone especially her grandchildren always telling them how important it was to pray as prayers are what got her through difficult times.
