Mrs. Mary Elizabeth Brindle, age 77, of Tunnel Hill, Georgia, passed away peacefully on Thursday, January 9, 2025, at her home, surrounded by her beloved family.

Born on February 7, 1947, in Dalton, Georgia, Mary was the cherished daughter and last surviving child of the late George Lester and Mildred Loraine Morehead Stephens. She was preceded in death by her devoted husband of sixty-two years, William Carl "Bill" Brindle, who passed on September 28, 2024.

Mary was retired from Automotive Carpet Systems and a dedicated member of City View Church of God. A woman of unwavering faith and conviction, she never hesitated to express her mind with honesty and passion. Her home was a place of warmth and welcome, where no visitor ever left hungry or unloved. Mary's heart for hospitality reflected her love for those around her, and her presence will be deeply missed by all who knew her.
