Mary Irene Pogue

Mary Irene Pogue passed away peacefully on January 20, 2026, in Youngstown, Florida, at the age of 89. Born on August 3, 1936, in Lucedale, Mississippi, Mary's life was a tapestry of devotion to her family, her country, and her faith.

Mary's journey began as the cherished daughter of Don Alfonso and Ailene Elizabeth Bullock. Her early years in Lucedale were filled with the warmth of a close-knit family, including her late brother, Don Bullock. Mary's spirit of adventure led her to serve her country for a year in the United States Navy.

After her service, Mary's heart found its true calling as a loving mother. Her daughter, Tammy Creamer, and son-in-law, Johnny, and her son, Michael Pogue were the center of her world. Mary's love extended to her sibling, Carolyn Fowler, who stood by her side through life's many chapters.

Mary's legacy continued to blossom with her adoring grandchildren, Brian Bush (Amanda), Jennifer Corbin (Brian), Cecily Pogue, Joel Pogue, and Jackson Pogue. She was a guiding star in their lives, imparting wisdom and unconditional love. The joy of her life multiplied with the arrival of her great-grandchildren, Kailyn Daniel, Tucker Daniel, Dalton Corbin, Caymen Corbin, Ella Bush, Fletcher Bush, and Hudson Bush, and later, the blessing of great-great-grandchildren, Layla Daniel and Brooklyn Daniel.

A faithful church member, Mary's commitment to her faith was evident in her actions and her unwavering support of her church community.

Mary's adventurous spirit never waned. She embraced life with open arms, always ready for the next journey, whether it was a trip abroad or a simple gathering with loved ones.
