Mary Rose graduated from Purdue University in 1950. Upon graduation, she embarked on a long career as a buyer for L.S. Ayers and Company for 38 years, before retiring.

She was also a longtime member of the Mooresville Church of Christ. She never met a stranger, and if you were a friend, you quickly became family. She was well known around Mooresville by many and will be greatly missed.

She is survived by her cousins Linda Frye and her husband Willard, Steve Walker, Gary Walker, Brenda Susemichel, DeAnn Heinekamp and a host of close friends she considered her family.
