Mary Wootie Underwood, age 101, died Friday, July 1, 2016 in Raymond, MS.
Visitation will be held from 9am until service time at 11am Tuesday July 5, 2016 at the Ott & Lee Funeral Home in Forest with interment to follow in the Eastern Cemetery. Rev. Larry Patrick will officiate.
Mrs. Underwood was born October 31, 1914, in Newton County, MS. She married Aubrey Underwood on March 26, 1933. They celebrated seventy-five years together shortly before his death in 2008, after which she moved to Riggs Manor Retirement Community in Raymond. Recently, Green House #1 at Riggs was renamed permanently “Underwood Home” in her honor.
Mrs. Underwood and her family lived in Sebastopol before their move to Forest. She was a faithful member of Forest United Methodist Church, the Beaman Triplett Sunday School Class and United Methodist Women for over fifty years. When her children were growing, she was active in PTA and Boy and Girl Scouting. Always devoted to her family, “Mama Wood” gathered her large family together for many sumptuous meals prepared by her hands. There was never a shortage of food except, perhaps, her wonderful caramel pie of which everyone hoped to get a piece! Whenever this tiny, quiet lady spoke, everyone stopped to listen!
Mrs. Underwood was preceded in death by her husband, Aubrey Underwood; parents, Rufus and Ruby Graham Underwood and three brothers: Graham Underwood, Murray Underwood and Maxwell Underwood.
Mrs. Underwood was blessed by her Lord with a long life and she lived it well! She will be missed by her survivors who include her children: Delores Underwood Henderson and her husband Troy of Raymond, Jimmy Underwood and his wife Diane of Ridgeland, and Jean Underwood Cox and her husband Sidney of Brandon; seven grandchildren; seventeen great grandchildren; two great- great-grandchildren, and another on the way, and a host of nieces, nephews, relatives and friends.
