Mary Marie Sanderson Morales, age 70, of Beulaville left this earthly life for her eternal rest on Wednesday, April 24, 2024, from ECU Health in Greenville.

She was born on June 2, 1953, in Duplin County and was the daughter of the late Harmon and Mary Ruth Brock Sanderson.  Mary was also predeceased by her sisters, Mary Helen Sanderson and Mary Kay James.

Surviving to cherish her memory is her husband, Jacinto Morales Mora of the home; her son, Billy Ray Faircloth and wife Mary Ruth of Rose Hill; her daughter, Melissa Foy of Magnolia; grandchildren, Abigail Renee Faircloth, Kevin Ray Faircloth and Luke Baker; brothers, Billy Harmon Sanderson of Beulaville, David Harmon Sanderson of Beulaville, Kenneth Harmon Sanderson of Chinquapin and Joseph Harmon Sanderson of Wallace; numerous nieces, nephews, extended family and friends that loved Mary dearly.

Mary was a devoted wife and loving mother, grandmother and sister.  She was a simple lady who enjoyed the simple things of life, but her greatest joy was her family, especially her grandchildren who were the 'apples of her eye'.  Mary believed in the "old school" way, that family should always come first.  Mary was a hard worker who helped throughout the years to provide for her family.  Being an awesome cook, Mary enjoyed cooking for her family and friends.  She was a sweet, loving and caring lady who had a great personality and many friends.  Mary will surely be missed but treasured memories will forever remain in the hearts of those who knew and loved her.

There will be a memorial service for Mary at 5:00 p.m. on Tuesday, April 30, 2024, at Quinn-McGowen Funeral Home, Wallace Chapel.

The family will receive friends from 4:00 p.m. to 5:00 p.m. on Tuesday, one hour prior to the service at the funeral home.
