Mary had several jobs over the years, bookkeeping, retail and restaurant management (Pak-A- Bag and Waff-l-inn) and Quickies, but her favorite was driving the van for Ouachita Child Enrichment Center. She loved every one of those kids. She called them, “My Kids”. Her and Alvin were married 55 Years and she was so proud of their golden anniversary party. We laughed because Alvin carried a book to read while he was there. Her and Alvin’s kids were their life, Beverly, Brooke and Sarah. They called them, “My Girls”.
