Mazie was born in the small town of Jacksonville near the Piedmont/Anniston area in north Alabama. She grew up picking cotton on neighboring farms to help feed her many siblings. At a very young age she took on a parental role which made her into the woman she was later in life. She was the mother and grandmother to everyone, never knew a stranger. She was the sweet cafeteria lady who always gave you seconds when she wasn't supposed to. Her two loves in life were cooking and her family. Everyone always knew where the family get togethers were going to be at, Mazie's house! She wouldn't have it any other way. Her kids and grandkids meant the world to her. She was one of a kind. Like grandma would say "Don't worry about me, I'm okay."
