Mary, our earthly angel, gained her wings on Saturday, Oct. 31, 2020. Mary truly had the gift of love that she shared with so many friends and family. “Want a piece of pie? Call Mary.” She loved to cook for all who came through her door. Mary Muriel (Barnett) Mantooth was born May 15, 1930, in rural Sterling, to W.M. Barnett and Hattie E. Kirby Barnett.
