Willie Mary Hodges was born on Tuesday, July 20, 1915 in DeLeon, Comanche County, Texas. She was the daughter of Johnnie Willie and Beulah Lorene (Hattox) Hodges and was the third of ten children, having five sisters and four brothers.
On December 19, 1931 she married the love of her life, Audry Hugh Fisher. She and Audry lived and worked on ranches around West Texas most of their married life. They had two sons, Lyndon and Audry Gene. On December 16, 1958 her life changed abruptly when Audry, her husband of 26 years passed away unexpectedly.

Willie Mary resided at Parks Methodist for the last 5 years, having returned to Odessa over 16 years ago.
