Mary Delois Walker

Bobbitt

A beautiful life began on September 4. 1953. When Mary Delois Walker Bobbitt was born in Scott County, Mississippi, to the late Willie Walker and Ola Mae Grisle Walker.

Mary's life was rooted in faith. Love. And devotion to her family. She was a longtime, faithful member of Sherman Hill United Methodist Church, where she served with dedication. She later moved her membership to Lone Pilgrim Missionary Baptist Church, where she continued to worship and serve faithfully until her health began to decline.

Throughout her life's journey. Mary was united in holy matrimony to James Larry Bobbitt. Their union was blessed with four children, and they shared 44 years of marriage before his passing. Together, they built a life centered on love, family, and cherished memories.

Mary was a hardworking and dedicated woman who took pride in her work. She was employed at La-Z-Boy in Newton, Mississippi, where she served as a sewing trainer until her health no longer allowed her to continue. Outside of her work, she found her greatest joy in attending church, spending quality time with her family, and enjoying the company of dear friends. Her love, kindness, and devotion to those closest to her will forever be remembered.

On November 7, 2026, Mary peacefully answered the master's call and transitioned from her earthly life to eternal rest at Phoebe Putney Memorial Hospital in Albany, Georgia. Although her earthly journey has ended, the love she shared and the memories she created will forever remain in the hearts of those who knew and loved her.
