Mary Francis Secrist-Starnes

Mary Frances Secrist (Bentley) of Marietta, left us Tuesday morning, September 11 at 3:45 a.m. She was a christian with strong belief. Mary Francis lived the life of a free spirit. She was a beautiful, strong and willful woman, which she proved even in her last moments. She will always be loved and remembered by her survivors Sons, Richard Lee Secrist and David Ryan Secrist; Mother, Gwendolyn Desdemona Bentley; Siblings Bobby W. Bentley, Jr, Mark Bentley and Tim Bentley; and Grandchildren Peyton L. Secrist, Emerich L. Secrist.

Her life will be celebrated rather than mourned. Mary was loved by many people and will be missed greatly. Even now she watches over us as our angel.

A celebration of life will be held at 6 pm, Friday, September 14 at Acworth Beach. For more information call Richard Secrist at 678-927-5246. In lieu of flowers donations may be made to the American Cancer Society.
