Mary Craft

Mary Craft was born on July 11, 1931, in Parks, Arkansas, to Charles and Mary (Thompson) Hawkins. She passed away on November 7, 2026, in McKinney, Texas.

Mary worked as a hairdresser, but much of her life was devoted to her home and family. She was a devoted mother and caretaker, especially to her son, Tyron. Her love, care, and dedication played an important role in his upbringing and health, allowing him to live life to the fullest.

Mary was a strong woman with a kind heart. She loved her flowers and gardening, especially her roses, and was an excellent cook. She loved to laugh, tell jokes, and spend time with her grandchildren. She was also someone people could turn to, always willing to listen and offer good advice. Mary was the backbone of her family, and life was simply better with her in it.

She is survived by her three children, Sharon Scott, Scott Craft, and Tyron Craft; grandchildren, Charlotte, Amanda, Traci, and Jackie; and great-grandchildren, Katie, Alex, and Kaina.

She was preceded in death by her parents; her siblings, Herman, Claude, Ramond, and Luretha; and her great-grandson, Christopher Jones.

A memorial graveside service will be held at a later date at Ridgeview Memorial Park, 2525 Central Expressway North, Allen, Texas 75013, where Mary will be laid to rest near her beloved great-grandson, Christopher.
