Born to the late Myrle and Willie B. Bullock, Mary was a devoted wife to her husband Ronald Frederick of Wake Forest.

She is also survived by her sister Donna Horne (Rick) and nephew Alex Horne.

Mary attended Southeastern University in Lakeland, Florida, and worked for many years in accounting as a loss prevention specialist. She possessed a deep love for music, particularly southern gospel, and found great joy in playing the piano and singing. Highly creative, she was skilled at knitting and crocheting, often sharing her talents by making a blanket for each of her grandchildren. She treasured gathering with her family during the holiday seasons.

She will be remembered for her warmth, creativity, and the quiet ways she expressed her love for those closest to her.
