Mary A. Meeks of Easley, South Carolina passed away peacefully at her home on June 4, 2025.
She was born on January 19, 1940 in Mansfield, Ohio to the late Vern and Wilamina (Dille) Zents. After graduating from Mansfield Senior High in 1958 she went on to work as a bookkeeper for several years at Richland Bank.
Shortly after high school Mary married the love of her life, Gary M. Meeks, and the couple shared 56 wonderful years of marriage together until his passing in 2014. Now they are reunited together again in Heaven.
Mary enjoyed spending her free time traveling all over the world, particularly to places like Maui, Yellowstone, and the Grand Tetons. She often joked that Gary and her put 10,000 miles on their camper! Mary spent countless hours riding- although sometimes classified as “holding on for dear life”- with Gary, and made many priceless memories on their trips.
She leaves behind three children Sherry Lynn Cockrell of Easley, Pamela Ann Finley of Easley, and Jon Gary (Theresa) Meeks of Easley, six grandchildren, and 13 great-grandchildren.
The Meeks family will receive guests from 12 pm to 1:30 pm on Friday, June 27, 2025 at the Snyder Funeral Homes, Bellville Chapel. A graveside service will be held immediately following at Bunkerhill Cemetery in Butler, Ohio.
