Mary Frances Lynch

Mary Frances Lynch, 95, of Little Rock, Arkansas, passed away peacefully on November 1, 2025. She was born on June 12, 1930, in Tinsman, Arkansas, to Preston Tera and Edna Marie Williams.

Mary made Little Rock her home for more than 40 years, where she built a full and joyful life surrounded by family and friends. She worked for many years at Pip Printing before retiring. During her retirement, she and her beloved husband, James “Jim” Lynch, continued working together in an attorney’s office—a partnership that reflected their deep bond and shared love for life.

Mary and Jim shared many wonderful adventures together. They loved dancing, camping, fishing, and spending time at bingo nights. Her favorite pastimes also included sewing and reading—simple joys that reflected her creativity and warmth.

Mary was known for her loving heart, spunky personality, and outspoken nature. She was the kind of person who made everyone feel seen and loved, and her laughter could fill a room.

She was preceded in death by her parents, Preston and Edna Williams; her sister, Ophie Grace Grisham (and husband JT); her brothers, Tommy and Jimmy Williams; her niece, Becky Brawner; and her husband, James Lynch.

Mary is survived by her daughter, Sharon Mauser (and husband Eric); granddaughter, Kara Smith; great-granddaughter, Haylee Hart (and husband Colton); and nephew, Terry Grisham (and wife Kami). She will be deeply missed by all who knew and loved her.

A graveside service will be held at 12 pm on Friday, November 7, 2025 at Pinecrest Memorial Park in Alexander, Arkansas, where family and friends will gather to celebrate her remarkable life and legacy.
