Mary was born to the late Philmore Holloway and Nancy McManus Holloway on February 16, 1927 in Harrisonburg, LA.  She was preceded in death by her husband, Robert Eugene Newcomer Sr. and nine siblings.
Left to cherish her memory are her son, Scott Alan Mounger and wife, Monica; three grandsons, Kyle, Michal and Evan Mounger; three great grandchildren, Carson, Brody and Kylie Mounger,  three step-sons, Bradley Newcomer and wife Anita, Bruce Newcomer and wife Jan, and Robert E.
