RIP, Mary Ann Neely
It
is with great sadness that Montgomery mourns the passing of its senior
historian, Mary Ann Oglesby Neeley. A tiny woman with a huge heart and
an expansive grasp of Montgomery’s history, Mary Ann shared her
enthusiasm with countless people through her work as a teacher, author,
and as director of Landmarks Foundation of Montgomery’s Old Alabama Town
(1979-2003). Our thoughts and prayers are with her family and friends
in this time of grief.

Yes, a tiny woman but a giant in heart. I did not know her well, but she lived a few houses away from us.
ReplyDeleteI had the pleasure of interviewing her several times. A real treasure.
