Mary Segur Obituary

Mary Louise Rollberg Segur, 85, of Cornelia, passed away on Thursday, March 6, 2025, at Manor Lake of Gainesville following a brief decline in health.
Mary was born on August 19, 1939, in Chicago, Illinois, to the late Clarence Thomas Rollberg and Elizabeth Ann Wilcox Rollberg. In addition to her parents, she was preceded in death by her loving husband of 60 years, J. Robert "Bob" Segur; and her brother-in-law, Ray Gregor.
Mary's life was dedicated to her family. As a homemaker, she poured her heart into raising her daughters and supporting her husband, ensuring that their home was always filled with warmth and care. She also pursued owning and operating her own company, DB International, where she specialized in the import and export of consumer electronics. Beyond her professional achievements, Mary was a woman of many talents and passions. She was an avid quilter and knitter, finding joy in creating beautiful handmade pieces. She had a deep appreciation for cooking and crafting, always eager to try new recipes and creative projects. A voracious reader, she could often be found immersed in one of her many many many (seriously many) books.
Mary found her greatest happiness when surrounded by her family. The 60 years she spent with her late husband was especially precious to her, and together they built a lifetime of beautiful memories. Mary and Bob shared a passion for traveling and their favorite place to visit was Hawaii where they enjoyed its breathtaking landscapes, rich history, and peaceful atmosphere. In addition to her enjoyment of Hawaiian history, she also had a deep love for British history, always eager to learn more about the past that fascinated her.
Mary will be remembered as a loving and dedicated wife, a supportive mother, a precious grandmother known as "Grandma," a wonderful sister, and an amazing friend.
Mary is survived by her daughter and son-in-law, Carol and Mike Shirley, of Clarkesville; daughter, Sharon Segur and her partner, Scott Gunty, of Smyrna; grandsons, Joshua Shirley and his partner, Herbert Thurber; Seth Shirley and his wife, Arlyn Hott Shirley; granddaughters-in-love, Madisen Gunty, Adriana Gunty, and Alexa Gunty; sister, Beverly Jean Gregor, of Tinley Park, Illinois; brother, Thomas Rollberg, of Morris, Illinois; numerous nieces and nephews; and life-long friends, Mickey Cronin and Pat Staats.
A private family memorial service will be held at Whitfield Funeral Home, North Chapel, with Chaplain Stanley Samuel officiating.
