Mary Elizabeth Highlander lived a full and wonderful life. She met Stanley in 1981. Mary and Stanley were enjoying their passion of square dancing when they were both without a dance partner. It was then that they found one another on the dance floor. They became dance partners and fell in love. They were married on January 11, 1982. Mary also enjoyed spending time with Stanley going to car shows and loved to cook for her family. She was a faithful member of the Baptist church and was involved with the Monday Morning Ministry (M&M), where they would pray for and send cards to their members who were ill and unable to attend services. Mary’s greatest passion was spending time with her family, especially looking forward to her grandkids and great grandkids.
