Mary D. was a favorite school teacher for more than 30 years. A voracious reader and card player extraordinaire, she had a sharp wit and fabulous sense of humor. She never met a flower (or vegetable) she didn't love and grew them all. Always selfless and giving of herself to others, Mary D.'s devotion to friends and family knew no bounds. She was a member of Franklin First United Methodist Church.
