Mary attended Langston High School - as she looked forward to attending her class reunions. Mary was a member of Agape Restoration Church. She did domestic work, caregiving, and donated a tremendous portion of her time feeding people in the community and spreading her unconditional love to all.

Mary was a devoted mother, grandmother, sister, aunt, and friend. She enjoyed spending time with her family and friends, cooking and gardening, and serving her community. Mary’s positive energy and love was contagious and left an impact on all of those she came in contact with. She never met a stranger and embraced being everyone's “Granny”. She was known as “Mother Anderson” or “Granny Mary” throughout her community. Mary was preceded in death by her son (Andrel Anderson), parents (George and Willie Mae Anderson), uncle and aunt (Raspberry and Elizabeth Young) who raised her and her siblings, sisters (Georgia Fields and Betty Carter), granddaughter (Santoya Brown), and great-grandson (Kelvin Scott Jr.).
