As one of Queenie´s 4 roommates over 60 years ago, we have so many cherished memories to treasure. As Kappa Delta sisters at Auburn and teachers in Atlanta we shared life everyday. Then came marriages & time to go our separate ways. That did not prevent us from our strong bond iof sisterhood & we have continued to remain close as we have shared the joys & disappointments in our lives. We will miss Queenie so much but, thankful she is healed after persevering to over come such long health...

Mary McQueen was often referred to as a "True Southern Lady" by many who knew her. Her quiet easy-mannered, soft-spoken words earned her the respect of those she worked with day-in and day-out. She was always forthright with her customers and met every difficulty with vigor and determination to accomplish every task no matter how difficult it might be.

Mrs. Whatley was such a sweet woman who even in her time of distress made me feel welcome to the area after my recent arrival. I´ll think of her often and always have her advice on my garden and raising my toddler. My deepest condolences to the family on the loss of a beautiful soul.

Mary was a wonderful woman. She was a blessing to be around. First class in all respects.

We are saddened to hear of the passing of our Dear Sister Mrs. Whatley. We are praying for comfort and peace for the family during this difficult time. Please accept our deepest condolences. Reggie & Priscilla Strickland

Mary McQueen you were the epitome of a professional and ethical Realtor. You were one of the first Realtors to let me know you were there for me if I needed anything. Then I got to know your family as my son and your grandson Will grew up together. You are a rare gem and will be missed.

You will be missed, dear friend. I loved your smile, gentle ways and encouraging words. Linda Rubio
