She was preceded in death by her husband John Vincent Vogt, jr , of GA; her Sister Jeanne Pesaresi-Bisignano, & husband (Amedeo) of Florida, her brother, Valentino Pesaresi, & wife (Lena) also of Florida.

Born in Coaldale PA, she moved to Pine Grove in Marlton, NJ where she met & married her husband John. After the births of their three children, they relocated in 1970, to DeKalb County & later, Gwinnett County, GA . Mary had a great passion in her life for God, music, gardening and animal rescue. She rescued 99 cats and 12 dogs for over 30 years with the help of generous, devoted friends and family, finding homes for all but a few, whom she either kept or maintained in an altered feral colony. Memorial Services will be held in celebration of her life on October 29, 2016, at 2:00 PM at Lawrenceville First Christian Church, 3495 Sugarloaf Pkwy, Lawrenceville, GA 30044 with a light reception with family and friends immediately following the service. Her ashes will be scattered in the lake at the His Last Days Drama site near Tallulah Falls, GA over the Labor Day weekend 2017 as requested along with a very informal short gathering. An ornamental plant will be planted in her honor at the 1 / 2 "Garden of Gethsemane Scene" area of the drama as well as at a memorial garden at the original location of the His Last Days Drama site. Mary requested that those in attendance at her memorial services wear "happy colors" to celebrate her life and joys.
