Mary Lee Wells, born on June 24, 1953, in East Saint Louis, Illinois, gracefully took her leave from this world on November 1, 2025, in Richardson, Texas. In her wake, she leaves an indelible mark on all who had the privilege of knowing her.

From the outset of her life, Mary embodied a spirit that was as vibrant as the colors she so lovingly painted on canvas during her moments of artistic expression. A devoted mother and grandmother, her proudest accomplishments were undoubtedly her children and her cherished "Grandbeanies." Each moment spent with them was a precious tapestry woven with love, laughter, and unforgettable memories.

Mary was not merely a presence; she was a force of nature—a beacon of light that brightened even the darkest of days. Her caring nature and loyalty were unmatched, as she moved through life collecting friends and spreading joy. Never one to meet a stranger, she welcomed every soul into her fold, making each individual feel special and valued. Her spirit was contagious, and her positivity uplifted everyone around her, allowing them to discover the inherent beauty within themselves.

A passionate go-getter and hard worker, Mary also owned her own business, where her dedication and devotion shone through in everything she pursued. She was not just a manager; she was a nurturing force for her employees and customers alike, always taking the time to care for others while ensuring that every detail was attended to with passion and heart.

In quieter moments, Mary drew solace from the pages of the Bible, intertwining her spiritual beliefs with her creativity. She found joy in writing poetry and singing, often following the melodies of her guitar to places only her heart could comprehend. Each strum of the strings resonated with the love she shared with those around her and encapsulated her spirit—the spirit of someone who cherished every note of life, both in joy and in sorrow.

As we celebrate the life of Mary Lee Wells, let us remember her not just for her numerous accomplishments, but for the warmth and love she radiated in every interaction. She will be deeply missed, but her legacy of kindness, creativity, and unwavering love will continue to inspire all who were fortunate enough to be graced by her presence.
