Mary resided in North Carolina, and in her leisure she was a hair stylist. In 1958 she married Curtis Davis from Louisburg, North Carolina on September fifth. They both moved to Boston, Massachusetts the same year shortly after marriage to start their family. While living in Boston Mary pursued other employment as a Nurse Home Health Aide where she worked devotedly for over 30 years. In 1969 Mary accepted the Lord Jesus Christ as her Savior. Mary and her husband found Holy Mt. Zion Church and became a member under the leadership of the late Bishop Katherine C. Lewis. She was a faithful member who truly loved the Lord. She enjoyed singing in the church choir, serving on the ministerial team, preaching the gospel and testifying before God of His goodness and mercies. She loved traveling to the Mt. Sinai Church of America conventions and to make sure she was ready she shopped for her favorites "Church hats, Handbags and Shoes" and don't forget the Church Suits and Dresses to match.
