Mrs. Shaneyfelt was retired from a long career as the owner and operator of a custom drapery business, which she started in 1976. She loved to travel, and saw much of the United States and the world alongside her beloved husband. She enjoyed playing cards, dominos, and other games with her church friends and family, and always had a great story to share which typically ended in giggles. Mary was a charter member of East Highland Baptist Church, and was a devoted servant, always there to lend a helping hand to those in need. She was a tremendous prayer warrior, and served in a number of different roles supporting the church. She was an excellent cook, with a secret recipe for delicious pan-fried squash loved by all.
Pallbearers will be: Brad Shaneyfelt, Mike Murphy, Colton Gibson, Wil Summerford, Terry Brooks, and Logan Henry.
