Mary Emma Bingham

In celebration of Mary Bingham, born January 13, 1949 in Tunica, MS to Arie and Hester Louise Butler.  She met and married Dan “Robert” Butler Sr. and had 3 children who gave her a host of grandchildren. 

In loving memory of Mary Bingham, who passed away April 22, 2024 surrounded by the love of family and friends. She touched the lives of many with her warm smile and compassionate heart.

A true enthusiast of life, Mary found joy in the simple pleasures and cherished moments spent with loved ones. She had a special passion for the thrill of the casino, where she found excitement, whether it was the anticipation of winning or the laughter shared over the game.

She cleaned houses and businesses and that was a business she created for herself as a way to bring in money. She even started her own little taxi service during her final years here with us. She definitely was an entrepreneur in her own right.

In the kitchen, Mary enjoyed delighting in the creation of delicious meals that brought people together. Her love for cooking was evident in every dish she prepared, each one infused with her unique flair and love.

Throughout her career she displayed dedication and earned the respect of colleagues and clients alike. She left a lasting impression on all who had the privilege of knowing her.

In addition to her passions she held an unmatched devotion to her family. She spared no effort in ensuring their happiness and well-being, regardless of the situation or circumstances.  In times of both celebration and adversity,  she took pride in witnessing her family members flourish, and she would go to extraordinary lengths to guarantee their prosperity and security.

Though she may have departed this world, her spirit will forever echo through the generations, serving as a timeless testament to the power of family bonds.

Mary's presence will be deeply missed by all who knew her, but her memory will continue to live on in the hearts of those she touched. May she rest in peace, surrounded by the love and warmth she brought into this world of close friends and family:
