Mary Myers Long

Mary Myers Long, 92, of Boston, GA slipped peacefully to her heavenly home at Legacy Village, Thomasville GA on August 20. 2019. She was born May 22, 1927 in Houston County Alabama to William Thomas and Susie Tye Myers, their eleventh and youngest child. She was the last remaining sibling of her brothers and sisters. She married Hayward Long in November 1952, who preceded her in death.
She retired from Coats and Clark where she worked in quality control. After her retirement, her grandchildren were the joy of her life and she enjoyed transporting them to and from their various after school activities. She loved her family that included a host of nieces and nephews. She was “Granny” to so many outside her family and loved others as if they were her family.
She was the longest member living of the Thomasville First Church of the Nazarene where she attended from the time she was a young lady until she was no longer able to attend. She seemed to never go to church in an empty car, stopping along the way to pick up nieces, nephews, and children of friends. She loved her Lord and cherished time with her church family and friends.
She is survived by her son Roy H. Long, CPA and his wife Jeanine Long, whom she loved, grandsons Kevin (wife Heather) Long of Florahome, FL, Benjamin (wife Katie) Long of Boston, GA, Gregory (wife Megan) Long, of Pavo, GA and grandchildren Alexander (wife Taylor) Long, Benjamin Long Jr., and Kaylen Long.
Her funeral service will be held Friday, August 23, 2019 at the Thomasville First Church of the Nazarene at 11:00. Family visitation will precede the service starting at 10:00. Graveside committal will follow at Laurel Hill Cemetery. In lieu of flowers, donations may be made to the Thomasville Kiwanis Foundation, P.O. Box 316 Thomasville, GA 31799.
