Mary Alma Sanders, beloved mother and MamMaw went to be with her Lord and Savior on December 30, 2019. She was born October 4, 1923 in Duke, Alabama, the daughter of Newt Wesley Smith and Mattie Morris Reece Smith. She was the baby of the Smith Family (10 children) in Gadsden, Alabama. Strong in her faith, Mary was a lifelong member of the Church of God. A Spiritual Mother to so many, Mary truly ministered God's love throughout her life. Full of wit and humor, Mary was the life of the party and frequently was known as "Mary, Mary quite contrary". Beautiful and elegant- but also brave – she moved with her children to Texas in 1962 to start a new life and raised her family here.
