Mary Nell Methvien Scardina Everett

Mary Nell Methvien Scardina Everett (Maw-Maw) was born on July 10, 1941 at Lallie Kemp Memorial Hospital in Independence, Louisiana. She attended Denham Springs High from 1955-1959 and then SLU from 1959-1960. Mary worked as a certified medical transcriptionist from 1962 to 1988, except for 4 ½ years as a stenographer with the LA Department of Wildlife & Fisheries. In her early adult years, she enjoyed family camping, bowling, tennis, running 1k and 5k races, and fitness workout programs. In later years, Mary loved spending her time sewing, cross stitching, crocheting, and engaging in various other crafts. She enjoyed traveling, cross word and jigsaw puzzles, reading books and the newspaper, taking and collecting photographs, and last but not least – most importantly – her Bible.
