Mary and Horace were founding members of the Westwood Baptist Church in Westlake, Louisiana. She was best known for her love for Christ, family and her great Southern cookin'. She also had a passion for gardening and planting flowers. She had an exquisite ability to grow anything she laid her hands on.
Mary loved to be outside and would often recall the good times the family shared having €œfish fries€ at the lake and €œget togethers€ at her home in Lake Charles, Louisiana. She lived most of her life in Louisiana; however, she moved to Oklahoma in 1993 to be closer to her daughter when her husband became ill.
Mary's favorite verse is Romans 10:13: €œFor whosoever calls upon the name of the Lord shall be saved.€
