They shared 47 beautiful years together raising their two children, Margay and Manse, before Nelson preceded her in death in 2006. She was a selfless woman, a loving and devoted wife, mother and grandmother who truly spent her life nurturing her family. She was a strong woman of faith. She followed her parent’s footsteps to the church home which she loved, the First Presbyterian Church of San Angelo. Her husband, after retirement, became a Lay Pastor there for several years. Mary was a very giving person by nature and enjoyed giving her time and talents to everyone. She was a Boy Scout Leader during the years her son, Manse, was involved in Scouting.
