Greenfield - July 21, 1927 - November 29, 2017
Mary E. Sanders passed away peacefully on Wednesday, November 29, at age 90. She was preceded in death by her husband J. Eugene (Gene) Sanders.
She was born Mary Elizabeth Moore in Greenfield, Indiana to James Oliver and Jessie Mae (Fields) Moore. She attended Charlottesville High School. After graduation Mary moved to Indianapolis and worked at the IRS through the end of WWII. While married to her first husband, Joseph E. Fidger, and raising a family she attended Speedway Christian Church and was an active member of Psi Iota Xi women's service organization. She later reentered the workforce for a long and successful career including Vice President of Sales with Indianapolis Office Supply until retirement in 1987.
Mary and her second husband, Gene, then lived for many years in their home on the first fairway of Sebring Country Club in Sebring, Florida where both were avid golfers and developed many lifelong friends. A unique accomplishment of hers included two hole-in-ones at the Sebring CC regulation golf course.
Most recently she resided at the Harrison at Eagle Valley where she was surrounded by many friends from Speedway.

We will miss her very much and all who knew her cherish our memories and times together with Mary.
