Life Reflections for Mary Ann Daniels Wallace

It is said that when life begins, it is like an open book with many blank pages. Each day as we live, our deeds are recorded page by page until we close our eyes in eternal death, and we await that “GREAT MEETING”.

The pages of this book opened on January 26, 1946, when Mary Ann Daniels was born to Oscar Riggins and Mary Lou Daniels Turner.

Mary Ann (a.k.a “Switch”) was a beautiful person. She had a heart as BIG AS THE EARTH. She attended Longview (Negro) Womack High School. Mary Ann managed the Holiday Inn housekeeping department for over 30 years. She was a member of Fellowship C.O.G.I.C where she was an active and faithful servant.

The final pages of the book for beautiful Mary Ann Daniels Wallace were written on Tuesday September 10, 2024. She passed away to be absent from the body but present with the Lord.

She was preceded in death by both of her parents, husband, Melvin (M.J) Wallace; daughter, Patricia Annette (Daniels) Jacobs; brothers, Louis Edward Turner, Carnell Nickerson, Michael Wayne Nickerson, Richard Earl Riggins and Morlin Riggins; sisters, Mary Alice Allen, twin sisters, Idabelle and Isabelle Thomas and Dorthy Ann Lynch.
