Mary was such a great lady and always watched over me at the golf course and took care of me even when I didn’t deserve it! She will be greatly missed and I am glad I was able to play in the Saturday Morning scrambles with her this summer.

My family is so grateful for the many years of loyal service Mary gave to my father John Dollens. We have many wonderful memories going down to the office and Mary was always so friendly and helpful at whatever we had going on. She taught my brother Riley and my self to type. I can remember sitting in that hot office in the summer in 1960s before they invented ac with Mary showing us how to type and she was so patient. Love-- David E. Dollens

We are so, so sorry to hear about the passing of Mary. She was such a jewel. She was always so kind and sweet. We visited many times in Wal Mart and would talk for the longest time and solved many of the worlds problems. (Yeah, right!) She will be missed. Just know that you, her family, are in our thoughts and prayers at this time.

We love you, Mamaw. You were the best and we are all so blessed to have been your grandkids. Thank you for loving us the way you did. Hayes is lucky to have had you in his life to take care of him for 3.5 years. We will miss you every single day. Love you this much-------------------------! (You always wrote that in my birthday cards).
