Born on February 12, 1962, to Jimmy Hinkle and Etta Capps, Mary dedicated her life to her family and to touching the lives of others with her warmth and generosity.

Mary is survived by her son, Brandon Ross, and his wife, Tiffany Ross; her daughter, Kristi Ross; her grandchildren, Aniyah Ross and James Ross; her fiancé, Howard Nix; and numerous extended family members and friends who will miss her dearly.
