I did not know Mary, but I saw her obituary in the Panola Watchman. She seems to have lived a very fulfilling life, and I wish I would have had the chance to know her. As someone who is also from Beckville, it is truly amazing to read about her life. 96 countries is an amazing feat, and I'm so glad she had the chance to experience it. I see myself a lot in the short bit I read about Mary. I have travelled to 26 countries, and I hope to add another 70 to it, and I truly love my cat and can't wait until I can get more! I truly wish I had the chance to meet and talk with her. Best wishes for her family.
