Sterling, on January 23, 1953, to the late Berry and Addie Lyman Byrd. Mary was a dedicated wife to her husband, Jim Lee.

She had a passion for collecting glassware, searching for treasures at yard sales and auctions. In her leisure time, Mary enjoyed playing games and exploring social media on her tablet. Known for her warm and welcoming personality, Mary never hesitated to lend a helping hand to those in need and easily formed connections with others.
