He preceded her in death on October 24, 2009. She was also preceded in death by two sisters, Ruby Lee and Dorothy Crouch along with two brothers, James Thomas Lee and Jackie Charles Lee.

Mary was formerly employed with Rostone in Lafayette for over 20 years, retiring in 1997.
Mary loved to cook and spend time with her family and friends. She never missed a chance to tell anyone about her family and grandchildren whom she was ver proud of. Those that knew her will surely remember her for her generosity. She never missed a chance to make baby quilts for people in the community she met. All the children in the neighborhood would always come to visit as she kept the freezer stocked with ice cream for them at all times. Her quick wit was matched by no one and would smile with an ornery grin at jokes she told. She was often called a "Pistol" by those whom she knew. Her infectious humor will be missed by all.
