SAVANNAH, CHATHAM COUNTY, GEORGIA - Mary Ringwald Yancey, born on November 2, 1940 in Savannah, Georgia, died on November 23, 2009 at her daughter's home in Gainesville, Florida after a courageous battle with cancer.

Mary married Don Yancey in Savannah, Georgia on December 29, 1962. She graduated from Savannah High School in 1958 and received her nursing degree in 1962 from Warren A. Candler Hospital School of Nursing in Savannah, Georgia. While she worked a career as a respected Registered Nurse, she considered her roles as wife, mother of her three children, and wonderful Mema of her seven grandchildren as the most important ones.
