Miss Mary Louise Rhodes was born, one of five children, on September 14, 1948, to Tannell Rhodes and Ecker Lewis in Savannah GA. She peacefully earned her wings to heaven on January 8, 2026, surrounded by her loving and nurturing family at Phoebe Putney Memorial Hospital.

She leaves to cherish her precious memories: six loving children, Jesse Washington III (Julie), Phyllis Washington, Shaaista Washington, Zarinah Washington, Noni Washington, and Tannell Washington; three siblings, George Rhodes, Harold Rhodes, and Mattie Coles; and a host of grandchildren, great-grandchildren, nieces, cousins, and friends. Mrs. Washington was predeceased by her parents and sister, Shirley Jenkins.
