OBIT: Mary Sybil Dial Wallace (MiMi) passed into the arms of our Lord and Saviour, Jesus Christ, on September 9, 2011, at St Joseph's Hospital of Atlanta, Georgia.

Wallace (Ed) on June 21,1941, and with America entering WWII, quickly became a Naval officer's wife which took her from her small town Georgia roots to Asbury Park, New Jersey, San Francisco, California, and many places before returning South to Atlanta, Georgia, where she remained a lifelong resident. She focused her considerable talents on landscape and floral design, her home and family. After she and Ed raised their children with the constant help of her wonderful mother, our Too-Too, they embarked on an exciting career in the travel industry, shepherding large groups of people wishing to visit the wonders of the world, seeing everything from Elvis Presley (Las Vegas) to the Holy Land. Always the quintessential Southern Belle, Sybil was perfect casting for the part of tour director! She was a member of St James United Methodist Church in Atlanta.
