Mary married James Carl Coughran on May 7, 1966, in Dallas, TX; and together they were parents to eight children. She was a homemaker and a member of Crossroads Apostolic Church. Affectionately known as "Granny" by all who knew her, Mary lovingly nurtured numerous children and consistently extended a warm welcome at her table to those in need. Her remarkable personality radiated warmth, humor, brilliance, and pure goodness. Mary selflessly shared everything she had with everyone around her.
