December 27, 1933 — May 24, 2008
Mrs. Mary Jean Duvall Blevins, age 74, of 2 Orr Street, Rome, GA, suddenly went home to be with the Lord Jesus Christ on May 24, 2008, while visiting relatives in Savannah, GA.
Mrs. Blevins was born on December 27, 1933, the daughter of the late Ben T. and Ida Mae Duvall. She had been a resident of Rome and Floyd County for the greater part of her life. Before her retirement, she had worked at Wiseman Bakery and Integrated Products and later had operated an upholstery shop from her home. Mrs. Blevins was a founding member of the King James Bible Believers Church, Rome, GA, and a church whose first meeting were held in her home. She had enjoyed reading through her King James Bible twice in the past three years and had begun reading through again in 2008. She was also an active gardener and enjoyed exercising at the Vitality Center of Rome. After the death of her husband, she began spending much of her time ministering and caring for her family members. During this time, she also enjoyed a number of pleasure trips with her children and grandchildren. In addition to her parents, Mrs. Blevins was preceded in death by her husband, Homer Dar Blevins, in 2003; a sister, Florine Hibberts; and two brothers, Benny Duvall and John Duvall.

Also, surviving are six beloved grandchildren, Nicole Hicks of Armuchee, Anthony Dar Blevins II of Monroe, Paul Blevins of North Augusta, SC, and Aaron Blevins, Jonathan Blevins and Hannah Blevins, all of Armuchee. Several nieces and nephews also survive.
