Mary, as she was affectionately called, was a devoted member of the Miley Church of God, Miley, South Carolina where she accepted the Lord as her personal Savior. Mary was known at revivals as the “singing lady”, carrying her microphone and hymn book. “My God is Real” was her favorite hymn because she said that was her testimony.
