Mary G. Hurt

Mrs. Mary G. Hurt, 91, passed away on December 7, 2021, at Trinity Assisted Living in Columbus. Mary was born on September 5, 1930, in Clay County, the daughter of the late Ira and Minnie Montgomery. Mary worked for Babcock and Wilcox in West Point for 15 years. Mary was always a hard worker. She was known for keeping everything really clean. She was proud of her yard. Her brother, Vern, always joked her about running around with a bag catching the leaves before they hit the ground. She raised four children alone, and she loved all of them more than herself. She loved her grandchildren and her great-grandchildren, and they really loved their Mawmaw Hurt. She was a member of Hebron Baptist Church. She married George Hurt on August 28, 1971, in West Point, and he predeceased her on May 19, 1995.

In addition to her parents and husband, she was preceded in death by a son, Roger N. Hill and a grandson, Toby Taylor.
