Mary Joan Lettis

Mary grew up in Gloversville where she met her husband, Bob. She graduated with a Bachelor's Degree from Buffalo State College. Once married, Mary was a loving mother and homemaker, raising her six children while also managing her own retail business, running an art gallery and other professional endeavors over the years.

Those who knew Mary will remember her for her beautiful smile, her love of anything purple, her passion for cooking AND baking, where she created delicious meals and unbelievable desserts from whatever was available. She also had a remarkable knack for decorating. Mary was extremely talented and loved creating all types of art projects, using rich colors in a variety of mediums. Mary was always active in her local catholic church and found great comfort in her deep faith in Jesus Christ and her loving relationship with her guardian angel, Saint Josephine. She worked hard all her life and was known for her grit and determination. Her door was always open to her extended family, friends and her children's friends.

Mary was preceded in death by her loving husband of 53 years, Robert Sidney Lettis. She had an unwavering love for her husband and family nurturing an environment that continually brought everyone together. She is survived and will be deeply missed by her children, Robert M. Lettis (wife Deborah), Kyle Lettis, Scott Lettis, Shawn Gant (husband Derek), Kim Schneider and Michael Lettis. She will be forever cherished and remembered by her many grandchildren: Robert, Nicole, Amanda, Jordan, Kristin, Colin, Erin, Loren, Hunter, Holden as well as several great-grandchildren. She is and will be continually loved by her sisters Patricia Oberg and Linda Johnson and she also leaves behind other family members who will miss her dearly.

Mary's memory will be cherished and while we may no longer see her, she will never be gone from our presence. She has been a blessing to her family and they will carry forth her legacy of love.

‍A memorial service for Mary will be held at 1:00 PM on Wednesday, March 26, at Saint Brendan Catholic Church located at 4633 Shiloh Road, Cumming, GA, where she was an active member.
