She accepted Jesus Christ at an early age and joined Mt. Hebron Baptist Church. She worked at D&L until she retired. She later became a caregiver and assisted with the elderly at the Senior Activity Center. Lady was a gift to her family. Although she did not physically give birth to a child, she cared for so many of her great nieces and nephews as if they were her own. She loved to fish, work around the yard, decorate and cook for the family.

Mary was preceded in death by her late husband SSG Willie Joe Colvin; three sisters: Mandy Covington, Betty Miles, Rebecca Evans; and two brothers: William Morris and Robert Morris.

Lady leaves to cherish her memory two sisters, Cascilla Feagins and Deborah (Roger) Hensley both of Seale, AL; two brothers, Johnny Morris Jr of Geneva, AL and Eddie Morris of Seale, AL; two godchildren Tequila Ezell of Phenix City, AL and Demarcus Ezell of Seale, AL;  three sisters-in-law; six brothers-in-law; a host of nieces, nephews and other relatives that she loved dearly.
