to be around. Bless her and you all. Mary Wyche Lesesne

Mary Marvin was my first art patron. She bought a watercolor I painted when I was around13 years old. She continued to support me via Facebook until she passed. She was one of the many core friends on Avenham Ave. where we grew up. I and all of my other Avenham friends loved her are are mourning this loss. Many fond memories of kick the can, hanging out in the kitchen drinking cokes and laughing A LOT. We love you Mary Marvin!
