Mrs. Mary Kay Hinton

November 15, 1946 - May 16, 2020

Mary Kay Davis Hinton, age 73, resident of Marietta for 42 years, died on May 16th, releasing her generous and lively spirit forever. She was born in Biloxi, MS where she grew up in a tight-knit family. After Kay graduated from Sacred Heart Catholic High School, her desire to become a nurse led her to Providence School of Nursing in Mobile, AL. She completed her nursing program in 1967 and worked in various nursing rolls for many years. Kay and Randy were married in 1970 and were blessed with two fine daughters, Kari and Adrian. They settled in Marietta in 1977 and became active members of Holy Family Catholic Church for over 40 years. During their time in Marietta, they were involved in various community and school activities such as Habitat for Humanity and loved supporting their family and friends. Kay was diagnosed with ALS in October 2016. When her abilities decreased, Kay moved to Holly Springs where she shared residence with both of her daughters and their families. Kay’s positive spirit continued to inspire all who knew her, and her legacy of love, courage, perseverance, and humor will never be forgotten by her family and friends. Kay was preceded in death by her husband, Randy, in 2018 and her grandson, Alexander, in 2008. She is survived by her daughters Kari Judson (Lyle) and Adrian Gray (Sean) both of Holly Springs. She was Nuna to her five grandchildren: Micah, Logan, Dominic, Ryan, and JJ. Her brother Charles Davis and his wife and friend to Kay, Brenda, reside in Vancleave, MS. Her niece, Katrina Davis, resides in Atlanta. She will be dearly missed, and we will celebrate her life with a funeral mass which will be held on June 29th, 2020 at St. Peter Chanel Catholic Church located at 1455 Jones Rd, Roswell, GA 30075 at 10:30 am.
