Mary Ella was born August 8, 1947 in Franklin, Tennessee to the late Walter Thomas Hinson and Annie Elizabeth (Morgan) Hinson.

Her home was the place to gather for delicious home cooking and sitting around the table talking and making new memories and talking about past memories. She had the knack of making everyone feel at home and welcome. She was a devoted Christian woman who loved her Main Street Church of Christ family.
