Marie Pentecost Mangum was one of the most delightful people that I have ever known. When I was a child she was my next door neighbor, and as I grew into an adult she became a dear friend. Our relationship spanned a lifetime with loving memories all along the way. Marie was animated and fun. She had a active mind was was an avid reader. She was a Tennessee grad and a lifelong Volunteer fan. I loved her dearly and the world is a little darker and a little sadder with her gone.
