Mary Cecilia Mabry, 96, of Baltimore, Maryland, entered into eternal rest on Saturday, November 28, 2020, at home in Sutherland, VA. She was born May 3, 1924 to the late Phillip and Ida Smith. Mrs. Mabry resided in New York for several years where she met and married the late Norman Lee Mabry and to this union three children were born. The family later moved to Baltimore where Mary worked and retired from Johns Hopkins Hospital after many years of service.

Mary was the matriarch of our family, the glue that kept us all together. Everyone looked forward each week to enjoying Sunday dinner at her home. She was a rock for so many people in need. She loved the Lord and watched the morning service every day. She loved cooking, gardening, and vacationing in the summer with her family. She was an incredible judge of character and known to be loving and loyal. She was a great mom and grandma and will be missed greatly.

She is survived by: her daughter Norma Mabry; son Joseph Mabry (wife: Rosalyn); daughter Audrey Clark (husband: Lamont); a host of grandchildren and great-grandchildren.
