John David Mabry's Obituary
John David Mabry,75, of Albemarle, passed away peacefully on Saturday, June 11, 2022 at his home. Visitation will be held from 1:30-2:45PM, on Tuesday, June 14, 2022 at Canton Baptist Church in Albemarle. His funeral service will follow at 3PM at Canton Baptist Church officiated by Rev. Curtis Williams. Burial will follow in the church cemetery.
Mr. Mabry was born July 11, 1946 in Stanly County to the late Lonnie Garland Mabry and Minnie McSwain Mabry. He was member at Canton Baptist Church. He was a jack of all trades and could handle any project that came his way. In his spare time, David enjoyed farming, playing Rook, eating ice cream and watermelon, going to the Rocky River Fish House, and doing home projects with his family, especially with his wife along by his side for over 54 years. His greatest joy was spending time with his family and especially watching the grandchildren and great-children grow and play, and playing an active role as “Papaw”. He was our right-hand man and was just a phone call away no matter the distance.
David is survived by his son: Chad Mabry (Tracie) of Albemarle; daughter: Inga Shaw (Cecil) of Albemarle; grandchildren: Whitney Tucker (Damon) of Albemarle, Cameren Mabry (Jenny) of Albemarle; great-grandchildren: Emery Jane Tucker, Berklee Rhett Tucker, Charlie Belle Mabry, and Canton Stuart Mabry; sisters: Eunice Hatley of Norwood, Carolyn Carriker of Mint Hill, and Judy Allen of Myrtle Beach, SC.
Mr. Mabry is preceded in death by his loving wife Sylvia Jane Howell Mabry and his sister Brenda Rothwell.
