and wild birds. She was a talented bridge player. Mary Finn was an 
accomplished artist. Her paintings grace the walls of family members and 
friends and some of her drawings can be found in the Newellton Garden Club 
Cookbook. She was a member of the Ladies Auxiliary. Mary Finn was a member 
of the Newellton Union Church and her faith in the Lord was ever present as 
she often expressed how much her prayers sustained her.
