Mary B. Smith passed away peacefully on Monday morning, the 31st of October 2011.
Mary Alice Bone was born on the 9th of March 1923 in Commerce, Georgia. Her parents were William Grady Bone and Agnes Higgenbotham Bone. She graduated valedictorian from Commerce High School in 1940 and attended the University of Georgia.
On the 20th of December 1947, she married Charles Binford Moore, of Amory, Mississippi, and the couple soon moved to Baton Rouge, Louisiana, where Charles was employed by the Esso Oil Company. In 1960, with Charles' transfer, they moved to Houston. They were happily married for thirty years and had four children: Patsy, Anne, Charles, Jr., and Catherine. Charles passed away in 1976.
Mary married Weldon Homer Smith in 1978, and they enjoyed twenty-five years together. In the winter of 2004, Weldon passed away.
During her lifetime, Mary very much enjoyed her civic activities, bridge clubs, book clubs, and dance clubs. She was a gracious southern lady whose energy was boundless. Mary was an avid flower arranger and an active member of the River Oaks Garden Club, as well as Judge Emeritus of The Garden Club of America. Mary was a member of St. Martin's Episcopal Church, the Houston Country Club, and the Junior League of Houston.
She is survived by her four children: Mary Patricia Moore of Houston, Anne Eppright, and husband Richard, of Fredricksburg, Catherine Wenske, and husband Dennet, of Austin, and Charles B. "Chip" Moore, Jr., of Berkeley, California; and by her four grandchildren: Emily Collier Eppright, Richard Thomas "Trey" Eppright, Jr., Morgan Elizabeth Wenske and Dennet Ray "Drew" Wenske, Jr. Her one brother, Aubrey Bone, five nieces, and two nephews, also survive her.
The family desires to acknowledge and express their heartfelt gratitude to Drs. James Willerson and Amany Ahmed; as well as their deep appreciation to Mary's dedicated care-providers: Maria Galvan, Birza Valero, Edith Elias, and Shery Poz.
