A native of New Iberia and resident of Ball, Louisiana, Mary K passed away on Monday, August 29, 2022, at 11:04 pm at her residence in Ball.

Mary K loved spending time watching her favorite TV show, “Law and Order, SVU” and going to the casino, where she always went home a winner.  Though she had many chores at the “Home”, she excelled in ensuring that all the trash was emptied and put out, not caring what time it was or whose garbage can it was going in.

She loved calling her family and friends on her cell phone.  Mary K had a unique aptitude to connect phone numbers with people.  Her favorite meal of all time and actually anytime was fried catfish and pecan pie (from Lea’s).

Mary K loved spending time with family and friends.  Though she knew everyone’s name (and phone number), she only referred to her siblings as “my brother” and “my sister”.  She was the most kind, sweetest, generous, and most thoughtful person one would ever meet.

Mary K is survived by her mother, Dorothy Grimsley; “my brother”, Alan Grimsley (Angie) of Youngsville; “my sister”, Lisa DeFrank of Arlington TX; nieces and nephews, Benjamin DeFrank (Laura) of Grand Prairie, TX, Hannah Grimsley (Adam Davis), Asa Zenas Low Grimsley, both of Youngsville; and an extended family of aunts, uncles, and cousins; special friends Simmie Crowson & Patsy Boudreaux, both of New Iberia and Patsy Brown of Ball.

She was preceded in death by her father, Elvin Bruce Grimsley; brother, David Wayne Grimsley, and brother-in-law Dennis DeFrank.

Honored to serve as pallbearers are Benjamin DeFrank, Asa Grimsley, and her cousins.

In lieu of flowers, please make a memorial donation to St Jude’s Hospital or your favorite charity.

The family would like to thank Patsy Brown and the team (past/present) at Oak Run Community Home of Ball, Louisiana as well as the past staff at Pinecrest State School for the wonderful care and affection they shared with Mary K.

Bye Bye Baby

I Love You
