George A. and Mary 
 
\ 
Let not your heart be troubled: 
ye believe in God, believe also in me. 
In my Fathers house are many mansions: 
if it were not so, I would have told you. 
I go to prepare a place for you. 
And, if I go and prepare a place for you, 
I will come again, and receive you unto myself; 
that where I am, there ye may be also. 
We are deeply grateful to all of our friends and neighbors 
who have been so kind and thoughtful during these 
hours, days, and weeks of sorrow. Your calls, cards, 
prayers, and acts of kindness have afforded us the 
strength and inspiration to face this day. Please accept 
our thanks to each of you for all you have done.

Mrs. Mary H. Mackey was born to John Hughes and Magdalene 
Ladavezes on December 24, 1924 in Augusta, Georgia. She 
graduated from Immaculate Conception High School and 
attended Paine College in Augusta. Mary was the widow of 
George A. Mackey, a Jacksonville, FL native who passed away 
on November 11, 2003 during their 57th year of marriage. She 
retired in 1986 from the Duval County Public School System in 
Jacksonville after 23 years of dedicated service. Mary was a 
long-time member of St. Pius V Catholic Church. In 2015, she 
moved to Altamonte Springs, FL, where she resided until her 
death of natural causes on December 11, 2017. 
A quiet, soft-spoken, and extremely caring woman, Mary was 
devoted to her family, church, and community. She enjoyed her 
work life (and, eventually, a long retirement), as well as 
interacting regularly with relatives and friends garnered over 
many decades. Mary was a loving wife, mother, and (great) 
grandmother who took advantage of every opportunity to be a 
giver to anyone in need. 
A giver even in death, Mary chose to donate her body to the 
University of Florida College of Medicine so that aspiring 
doctors might benefit from the chance to learn about her 
physical life, to advance their research, and to expand their 
medical knowledge. 
Mary was a gentle spirit and a friend to all. She will be missed 
dearly by everyone who knew her. 
Mary is survived by her sons: Bernard A. Mackey (Orlando, FL) 
and David W. Mackey (Tampa, FL); grandson, Justin P. Mackey 
(Krystina),; and great grandson and great granddaughter, 
Vaughn N. and Kyra L. Mackey (Tampa, FL). 
Mary is survived also by caring nieces and nephews: Pearl 
Mackey, Kathy Dukes and Bernice Greer (Augusta, GA), Judith 
R. Sullivan (Falls Church, VA), The Honorable James P. Sullivan 
(Brooklyn, NY), and William H. Hughes (Malaysia); grand 
nieces and nephews: Michelle D. Brooks (Reuben), Lisa Carey 
(Curtis), Debbie Mackey and Veda Mackey, Victoria Wu (Falls 
Church, VA), Andrea Dukes and Brigitt Mann (Augusta, GA), 
Samantha Hughes (Malaysia), Gei'ald Mackey, Albert Mackey 
Jr., Mitch Gregory, Malik Sullivan and Christopher Sullivan 
(Brooklyn, NY), and Marlon (Tony) Dukes (Keisha, St. 
Augustine); a devoted cousin, Eleanor Jones, other relatives, 
several godchildren, and a host of friends.

Lead Me, Guide Me Hymnal Song 495 
Opening Prayer (Following this prayer, please be seated) 
LITURGY OF THE WORD 
In the Liturgy of the Word, we hear Christ, the Word-made-flesh. 
The readings, which proclaim the paschal mystery, seek to convey 
the hope of being gathered together in Gods heavenly kingdom. 
Above all, the scriptures tell us of Gods design for a world in which 
suffering and death will relinquish their hold on all whom God has 
called his own, for they belong to His Son, who is victorious over sin 
and death.

LITURGY OF THE EUCHARIST 
Having been nourished at the table of Gods Word, the community 
now turns to nourishment from the table of the Eucharist. Here the 
priest sacramentally offers, in the name of all who have gathered, 
the sacrifice of the New Covenant in which the death and 
resurrection of Christ is remembered. The community then partakes 
of the Holy Eucharist, a foretaste of eternal life at the banquet 
table of heaven.
