Mary Sue grew up in Corpus Christi, TX. As a teenager, she played the cello in the Corpus Christi Symphony Orchestra. When she married the love of her life, she traveled the world as an Army wife. She was active in the Officers' Wives club, loved to play bridge, and taught Sunday school for 35 years.
The role that brought her the most joy in life was being a wife and mother. She was a devoted Christian who exemplified the finest qualities of motherhood. Nothing brought her more pleasure than raising her children. And the only children more perfect than her own were her grandchildren.
Mary Sue loved traveling. Whether it was going to Goose Island and fishing or traveling to some exotic country, she and James loved their retirement years. They were best friends in a marriage that spanned more than half of a century.
Mary Sue Dodson leaves a legacy of love.
Proverbs 31:28
Her children arise up, and call her blessed; her husband also, and he praises her.
