Mary Macon, a loving mother, devoted grandmother, and cherished sister, passed away on September 28, 2024. Born on February 11, 1950, in Little Rock, Arkansas. Mary was one of ten children born to Oree Bruce and Lee Roy Cunningham. Throughout her life, Mary exemplified the qualities of love, resilience, and faith that touched the lives of everyone she encountered.
Mary is survived by her eight siblings, each of whom she loved deeply, four children; Bridgett Tippitt, James Wade, Tawana Taylor, and Megan Johnson, who were the light of her life and a source of her greatest joy, 16 grandchildren; Sheldon, Carolyn, Brittanie, Parish, Raquel, Anika, Charisma, Janon, Lyra, Skyla, Kashawn, Jerry, Tori, Jreme, Jahmuir, and Kayden, all of whom adored their grandmother, 14 great-grandchildren, and numerous nieces and nephews, all of whom carry forward the values and love Mary instilled in them.
She was a pillar of strength and compassion to her family, offering support, guidance, and kindness in any form that she knew how. A woman of unshakable faith, Mary’s devotion to God was evident in everything she did. She lived her life as a true servant of the Lord. Her home was a refuge where anyone could find comfort and guidance, and she always led others toward the path of God. This unwavering dedication to her faith was the greatest gift she could offer to those she loved.
Mary was a woman of many talents. She loved to sing and play the piano, filling her home with music and joy. She was also an extraordinary cook, known for preparing meals that brought family and friends together around the table. Her friendships were as loyal as they were deep, and those who were fortunate enough to know her will remember her as the true definition of a go-getter, she stood on business — a woman who faced life’s challenges with determination, strength, and grace.
Mary Macon’s love, generosity, and faith will be missed by all who knew her, but her spirit will live on in the hearts of her family and friends forever. She was, and always will be, the embodiment of love and devotion. It’s your time now Mommy, fly high baby.
