Much of this was done to a soundtrack of her all-time favorite artist, Elvis Presley. Possessing a true servant’s heart, Mary faithfully cared for family and friends through delicious cooking, crafting, unconditional love and support. Mary Lenix was an amazing wife, mother, grandmother, and friend and will be dearly missed by everyone who knew her.
