Mary King Obituary

Mary enjoyed gardening, fishing, shopping, socializing, music, and she liked people watching. Mary also had a love for animals. Throughout her life she had many pets. Her favorite one was Butterball. Mary had lots of nieces and nephews and also great nieces and nephews that she enjoyed spending time with. Mary was hard headed, mouthy, a free spirit, highly opinionated, if she didn't say it her face would. Mary liked going to the local bars and letting loose. Mary could keep a secret better than anyone you know. Mary had a heart of gold. Mary will be truly missed if you needed her she would always be there.
