Mary and I were classmates and friends. She practiced with my hair for her beautician course, in Bowling Green as well as roommates. She will be missed.
We am so sorry to hear of Mary Verna’s passing. Our family lived next door to Joe B and “Miss Mary”, and we knew all their children , especially Mary Verna, since she was still in school and living at home at the time. She was a lovely person and our hearts go out to the family.
