Mary Elizabeth Griffin was called home by her Heavenly Father on February 21, 2026.

Mary (Tincy) was born on December 4, 1945, in Mobile, Alabama, to the late Ruby Killett and Malcolm Killett.

She was preceded in death by her beloved son, Paul Jackson; her sisters, Etha Mae Scarborough and Molly Edgar; and her brothers, Bud Killett and Bill Killett.

Mary leaves behind a loving family who will cherish her memory: her devoted husband, William Griffin; her sisters, Mildred Herring and Sadie Mae Scarborough; her grandchildren, Josh Jackson (Courtney), Chrysee Sparks (Michael), Brandon Garner, and Steve Byers; and her niece, Penny Gardner (Ronnie). She was also a proud and loving Granny to her ten great-grandchildren.

Mary faithfully served others throughout her life. She worked for over 30 years with the Hillsborough County School System in Plant City, Florida, before retiring and returning to her home state of Alabama.

Known for her gentle and giving spirit, Mary was truly an angel on earth to many. A devoted child of God, she found joy in caring for others and had a deep love for her church, her family, her friends, and her animals.
