Mary A. Mabbitt, born on June 27, 1969, in Norfolk, Virginia, passed away on December 19, 2025, surrounded by love. She was the daughter to Billy Elliott and Mary Cobb.

Mary was a devoted wife to Kent "Bubba" Mabbitt, with whom she shared 30 years of marriage, and a proud, loving mother to her three children: Scott, Tracy, and Bradley. She was also a cherished grandmother to her five grandchildren, who brought her immense joy and pride.

Mary worked primarily as a caregiver, a role that reflected her compassionate heart and dedication to helping others. Outside of work, she found happiness in gardening, thrifting, and spending time at family gatherings surrounded by those she loved most.

Mary was known for her caring heart, strength, and selfless love for those around her. Her warmth made everyone feel welcome, and her kindness touched all who knew her. Her love, guidance, and unwavering support were the foundation of her family.

She will be deeply missed and forever remembered by her husband, children, grandchildren, extended family, and many friends.

A celebration of Mary's life will be held on Saturday, December 27, 2025 at 2:00 PM in the Gateway-Forest Lawn Memorial Chapel with Chaplain Tom Tyer officiating.  A time of visitation with the family will be one hour prior to the service from 1:00 PM to 2:00 PM in the chapel.
