Mary Armistead Obituary
Memorial services for Mrs. Mary Ann Aiken Armistead will be held on Saturday, July 13, 2024 at 11:00 AM at the First Baptist Church of Roswell on Mimosa Blvd. Born April 4, 1938 in Fort Worth, Texas, she was the daughter of Paul Raymond and Alice Juanita Aiken. Mary Ann moved to the Atlanta area with her family at age 9 where she lived the duration of her life. She graduated from Stetson University in 1960 with a degree in Biology and later obtained a Masters in Counseling from Georgia State University. Mary Ann was a homemaker, bookkeeper, and teacher who enjoyed gardening and teaching adult Sunday School in the Baptist church.
Mary Ann was preceded in death by her husband of 52 years, Willam Spence Armistead. She is survived by her brother, David Aiken; her three children: Amy, John, and Chris and his wife, Stacy; and three grandchildren: Destin, Frances, and Luke. Family will receive friends one hour prior to the service in the parlor of Roswell Baptist Church. In lieu of flowers, memorial contributions can be made to the First Baptist Church of Roswell Foundation, Inc. or any faith-based organization of your choosing.

I was shocked to find that my long-time friend and sorority sister had passed away. I had lost track of her after she left the retirement location in Dunwoody. Sunday, August 25th while searching the obituary section of the AJC, I found her......what a shock! My Very good long-time friend was gone.....with no good-byes...I'm assuming she passed prior to July 10th as that was the published date. Chris, you have my cell number so Please call me with details. I would appreciate it...Marilyn White Willis

David and family, I have had Mary Ann on my mind so much this summer. I always thought so much of her, she was so much fun to be around. I should have gotten her number from Diane, and I am so sorry I didn´t. We are still in Florida, but have thoughts of moving back to Georgia. I hope this finds you in good health. I guess you knew we lost Mary Anne Vaughn last year. She died on 4/4/2023, my mother died 4/4/22. And now Mary Ann on 4/4/24. A sad coincedence. My prayers for you and your family.
