Obituary of Mary Jones Rivenbark

Mary Grace Jones Rivenbark Grace passed away peacefully surrounded by her family Thursday April 22, 2010 at Moses Cone Hospital, Greensboro, NC. A memorial service will be held on Sunday April 25, at 1:30 pm at Beulaville Free Will Baptist Church, Pastor Calvin Heath officiating. Grace was born in Beulaville, NC on March 25, 1933. She enjoyed many years employed at JP Stevens and Minchew Buick Olds and as office manager for Andy Andrews Olds Nissan and Goldsboro Nissan. After retiring in 2005, she moved to Browns Summit where her life was filled with reading, gardening, and preserving her bountiful harvests. She is survived by her two daughters: Elaine, husband Tim Apple of Brown Summit, NC and Jo Ellen Basile of Ponce Inlet, Fl., granddaughters Sarah and Maggie Apple, grand-dog Lucie. Because she was an avid gardener, the family finds solace in the fact that many trees were planted on the day of her death, Earth Day.
