Mary Arrington Hansford, age 90, passed away on Saturday, October 5, 2019 after a brief battle with cancer.

Mary was born in Jacksonville on November 2, 1928 to Josie and Hoyt Suggs. She attended Andrew Jackson High School in Jacksonville, Florida. Mary met and married her husband, Joe Arrington and had many adventures with him until his death in 1988. After Joe's passing, Mary met Charles Hansford. They were married and began a wonderful new chapter in their lives together. Mary volunteered at the Jacksonville Humane Society and always had a very special place in her heart for animals of all kinds. She was also an avid reader, and volunteered at the Regency Public Library. She was a member at Silver Glen Baptist Church where her relationship with Jesus Christ grew.
