Mabel taught science through the years in Rome, GA, Athens Junior High in Athens, TN, and at North Clayton Middle School in Georgia. Mabel was involved with the Atlanta Zoo as a docent, with Fernbank Science Center as a tour guide, and with Holy Trinity Episcopal Parish in Decatur as a Sunday School Teacher, lay reader, and volunteered as a visitor to the sick. Her great passions included family genealogy and talking with her family about her discoveries.

Mabel loved her church home, her volunteer work, playing bingo, playing bridge and spending time with her grandchildren and her great grandchildren. She spent the last two years at Parkside Rehabilitation. We would like to thank the staff for her loving care.
