Mary Frances Marable, a native of Waycross, Georgia, was the youngest of four children born to Mr. and Mrs. Zennie
(Marie Williams) Marable. Her professional career spanned more than twenty-five
years. During that time, she was successful at many areas of retailing, including serving as a Sales Manager for Rich's Department Stores; General Manager, The Olympic Experience, for The Atlanta Committee for the 1996 Olympic Games; Deputy General Manager/Human Resources Manager for Franklin and Wilson Airport Concessions, Inc. At the time of her death, she was a Banking Center Manager for NationsBank in Covington, Georgia.
Mary Frances was a 1969 graduate of Center High School of Waycross. In 1973, she received a B.S. degree in Home Economics/Secondary Education from Clark College (now Clark Atlanta University). While at Clark, she was initiated as a member of Delta Sigma Theta Sorority, Inc. After graduating, she remained active with Clark Atlanta Alumni Association.
At an early age, Mary Frances accepted Christ and was baptized in the Greater St. Paul Missionary Baptist Church. There, she was active in the Sunday School, Junior Red Circle, Junior Choir, and many other youth activities. Her Christian journey continued in college through membership in Union Baptist Church. In 1991, Mary Frances became, along with many others, a Charter Member of Christian Fellowship Baptist Church. There, she participated in the Sanctuary Choir and The Handbell Choir. She was in the Family Ministry Group of Robert Bennett.
With a winning smile, a jovial spirit, and a positive attitude toward service, Mary Frances has left her lasting impression on all who knew her.

"I'M FREE"
Don't grieve for me, for now 1'1n free I'm following the path God laid for me I took his hand when I heard Him call
I turned 1ny back and left it all. I could not stay another day
To laugh, to love, to work, or play. Tasks left undone 1nust stay that way I found that place at the close of day.
If my parting has left a void, Then fill it with re1nen1bering joy. A friendship shared, a laugh, a kiss, Ah, yes, these things I too will miss. Be not burdened with tintes of sorrow, I wish you the sunshine of to1norrow. My life's been full, I've savored much, Good friends, good times, a loved one's touch. Perhaps my time seented all too brief. Don't lengthen it now with undue grief. Lift up your heart and share with me, God wanted 1ne now, He set 1ne free.
