Mary Cochran Obituary

COCHRAN (Searcy), Mary "MeMama" Eleanor

It is with great sadness that we announce the death of Mary E. Cochran "MeMama" of Acworth-Ellenwood, GA, who passed away unexpectedly on March 28, 2024, at the age of 82.

She was loved by so many family and friends. Her smile, which was adorned by her "Big Baby Blues," never met a stranger.

She leaves behind her children: Cathline Wynelle Evans West, James Darrell Evans, and Donna Elizabeth Evans Dunn; her sister Lou (Bill) Searcy Preto; her 9 grandkids; 15 great-grandkids; and other relatives and friends.

She was preceded in death by her husband, Marion Cochran; her brothers, William Searcy and James (Bubba) Searcy; her son, Donald Wayne Evans; and her grandson, Justin Evans.

A Celebration of Life will be held on Saturday, April 20, 2024, 1:00 PM at the Hyatt Regency, 2999 Windy Hill Rd, Marietta, GA 30067.

We are profoundly blessed by the legacy of love and grace she freely gave to those around her and she will be deeply missed.

My Mother was the Strongest, Most Fearless Person I know. She lived life to the fullest, letting nothing get in her way. She grew to be my Hero, My Advisor, My Therapist and an ear when I babbled with nothing important to say.
She was an avid planter and could identify every plant or tree you could encounter.
We talked everyday and I Miss her so much. She is in Heaven now, with the Lord and with all the Loved Ones who has gone before her.
Rest Mama (I know you won´t), enjoy and I will see ya soon.
If you can throw down any comfort, in dealing with this,
I´ll take it. I Love Ya, ALWAYS.
