April 10, 1924 — May 26, 2018

Marie Petty was born in Hardin County, Tennessee on April 10, 1924, the daughter of the late Edgar and Leathe Hopper Irons.

Mrs. Petty attended First Baptist Church in Adamsville, Tennessee, where she was active in Sunday School and other church activities. She was a Gray Lady when the hospital in Selmer was first opened. In her younger years, she worked through Christmas seasons at Mildred's Dress Shop and part time at a florist during busy times.
