Mary Gallop

Mary Evelyn (Broadus) Gallop, died on October 5, 2021 at her home in Ocean Springs at the age of 73.

She was preceded in death by her parents, George and Lois Broadus; her brother, Rodney H. Broadus, and her loving husband Linue (Jack) Gallop.

Mary is survived by her four children, Tammy Merrill of Moss Point, Karen Fowles of Ocean Springs, Mary (Katie) Likens of Ocean Springs, and Mark Hodge of Gautier, MS;   her siblings, George Broadus (Faye) of Wade, MS., Gerald Broadus of Laurel, MS., Paul Broadus (Darlene) of Theodore, AL, Kenny Broadus (Chona) of Vancleave, MS., and Sue Pierce (Larry) of Wade, MS.; nine grandchildren; thirteen great grandchildren; numerous nieces, nephews, relatives and dear friends.

Mary was a devout Christian, relying on her faith daily and giving God the glory for each new day.  She was the pillar of strength, dignity, grace and beauty.

Being the matriarch of the entire family, she devoted her life to her children, grandchildren and helping others.  She was a nurse for 49 years and was the co-owner of Gallop Electronics.

She was a die-hard New Orleans Saints fan, loved football, world travel, cruises, deep sea fishing with her husband, fashion, home interior as well as cooking.  Mary hosted annual holiday gatherings that will be remembered for years to come.

She lovingly earned the nickname, “Lucille” from her children because she could be funny, a bit kooky, tough, loving, opinionated, but she was always extremely loyal to her children.  Against all odds, she never gave up until the moment God took her hand, and called her home.  She will be deeply missed by all who knew and loved her.

A visitation will be held on Saturday,  October 16, 2021, from 1:00 p.m. until the 2:00 p.m. funeral service at Riemann Family Funeral Home, 13872 Lemoyne Blvd., West Jackson County.
