Mary is my biological mother. She was the fourth child born alive to GEORGE BAXTER McMAHAN and BESSIE ESTELLE MOORE McMAHAN. According to Mary's Florida Birth Certificate, she wasn't named officially until November 3, 1938, it was also amended again on August 15, 1958.
She met David Ronald "Ronnie" KEITH, Sr. Abt. 1955 in Florida. They are my biological parents.
She 1st married Robert "Bob" REARDON 07 Nov 1959 in Hartford, Hartford County, Connecticut. No children.
She met Jeffrey Nathan "Jeff" MILLER Abt. 1965 in Connecticut. They had 3 children.
She 2nd married Sherrill Andrew PREACHER 16 March 1974 in Woodbine, Camden County, Georgia. No children.
She 3rd married Joseph "Joe" SWANGER 27 April 1978 in Pittsfield Twnsp, Washtenaw County, Michigan. No children.
Mary's life was cut short by a tragic auto accident. She was hit head on by another driver that swerved into her lane late at night on State Road 5, 1 mile north of Yulee, FL. She was enroute to her home in Fernandina after spending the evening visiting with family. She had her 10-year-old twin boys (my half-brothers) in the back seat and they mercifully escaped injury. Our Aunt Nina (Mrs. Vernon Lee) raised the boys as her own.
Mary is buried near other family at Bosque Bello. Standing at her grave one can see Container Corporation. It's a lonely and tranquil spot. I pray she has finally found the rest that she was so desperately seeking.
