Mary was born on June 7, 1938 in Copeland, Alabama to Elizabeth Lassiter. She spent much of her childhood in Copeland before moving with her brother, Tommie Lassiter to Linden, Texas.
Mary attended high school in Linden and also helped with the family business. She loved animals and always had a soft heart for a stray. After marrying and moving to Midland, she worked for the phone company until she became a mother. She then devoted her time and love to raising her children Bobby, Mary, and Donnie. In 1963, the family moved to Odessa where she lived for the rest of her life. In 1971 she would be blessed with her fourth child Jeffery. Mary loved her family very much. She was a Christ Follower and was an active member of The Bridge UMC and was involved from its start at LBJ.

Mary was a kind soul who loved other people. She was soft-spoken and ready to help anyone in need. She later worked at Medical Center Hospital in the coffee shop before going to work at Parks Methodist where she would work for 27 years until she retired. She began as a nurse's aide and then moved to the dietary department. She was well loved by the residents and her coworkers.
