Mary Lynn Huffstetler

Mary Lynn Huffstetler, age 58, died Sunday, September 11, 2022, at her brother's home.

The second oldest of four children, she is survived by her father Dwight Huffstetler of Asheboro, NC, her older brother Fred Huffstetler, sister-in-law Susan, and niece Jodi of Asheboro, NC, her younger brother Mike Huffstetler, sister-in-law Beth, nieces Grace and Anna, nephews Matt, Daniel and Michael all of Omaha, NE, nephew Jason Huffstetler and wife Shannon of Papillion, NE, AND her cat Aurora.  She was preceded in death by her sister Betty Jo Huffstetler, and her mother Joan Huffstetler. 

Mary was born in San Francisco, CA.  Her family moved to Atlanta, GA when she was 6 years old.  She graduated from Northside High School and attended Berry College.  She lived in Atlanta all her life. 

Since 2006 she worked at T.J. Maxx handling their clothing merchandise.  Mary was a kind, thoughtful and giving person.  She had a strong work ethic always wanting to give her best.  She was a valued employee at her job and stated multiple times to her family that she wanted to always keep working, even if just part time, as long as she possibly could.  She had a strong need for family connections and yet she was fiercely independent and responsible, a fact that she was very proud of. 

She always had a cat to care for.  She enjoyed cross-stitch and worked on many pillow cases that she gave to her family and extended family over the years in addition to cross-stitch prints, blankets and other treasured items.  

We will have a Graveside Service celebrating her life Saturday, Sept. 17th, at the Carpenter’s Campground United Methodist Church in Maryville, TN at 11:00 AM.   Her former Youth Pastor, Rev. Chris Thore of Yadkinville, NC will preside over her service. 

Condolences can be sent to her family care of:  Pugh Funeral Home, 437 Sunset Avenue, Asheboro, NC  27203, OR www.pughfuneralhome.com
