Mary was born November 15, 1933 to Tom and Tamsel Acker in Alabama. She was a member of Murphy Creek Baptist Church for many years. Mary was a homemaker who loved to cook and take care of her babies which she kept in her home for many years. One thing is for sure, she loved being around her grandchildren and great grandchildren. Mary enjoyed life and was always spreading her love and cheer to everyone she met.
