Mary Kathryn Joyce Anderson was born in Freeport, Texas on July 2, 1949 to Letric Lewis and J. B. Glaze. She graduated from Brazosport High School in 1967, but proudly attended Lanier High School prior to the integration of Texas public schools. Mary relocated to Galveston County and worked in the healthcare industry for 29 years at both St. Mary's Hospital and the University of Texas Medical Branch in Galveston. She was married to Alfred Turner for 11 years and raised 3 children, Renita, Iris and Maurice. In 2014, Mary married Joe Anderson and remained a devoted wife until her passing.
Mary was a life-long woman of faith and writer of both literature and Christian music. Mary's most distinguishable traits were her 1000 watt smile and her elegant sense of style. She never met a stranger, and she could talk for days, no matter what the topic. Her compassion and heart for people were unmatched.
