Affectionately known to those that loved her as “Mema” she will be greatly missed.
She was preceded in death by her loving husband of 49 years, Max Bennett; one brother, John Dunn; and two sisters, June Scott and Margaret Horton.
She is survived by her daughter, Maxine Banks and husband, Charles, of the home; one son, Michael Bennett of New Bern; daughter-in-law, Lupe Bennett of Stonewall; sister, Bonnie May of Nashville, NC; three grandchildren, Willie Banks and fiancée, Crystal Baker, Stephanie Henries and husband, Michael, and Aaron Bennett, all of Stonewall; two step-grandchildren, Richie and James; two great-grandchildren, Tanner and Tucker Banks; and one step-great-granddaughter, Nia.

She enjoyed having daily lunches with her friends at Charlie’s Restaurant and quilting with The Stonewall Quilters. She was a member of Stonewall United Methodist Church. Her greatest love though was her family, to have everyone together if only for a short time, made her the happiest.
