Mary was born in Greenville, Mississippi, to the late Magnus and Elizabeth Parker McLellan.

After living in Mississippi and Alabama, she settled in Perry, Georgia, where she would raise her three children. Mary was a member of the Akikta Club of Perry and Grace Church. She loved gardening, watching football, being “social”- and shopping with friends and family. Her greatest passion in life was her family, and she will be dearly missed by those who knew and loved her.
