Born in Arcadia, Florida on January 17, 1944, she was a "preacher's kid" that lived all over South Florida. In her junior year of high school, she attended and graduated from Lee University in Cleveland, Tennesee. It was there that she met the love of her life, Dennis. They eloped in 1961, and Mary claimed that at least she got her "Mrs. " degree.
The Edgar family began to grow in 1962. Mary spent her time being a doting mother and loving wife. She enjoyed her work as the director of the LaBelle Church of God Academy. In 1982, Dennis and Mary felt the call of God on their life to dedicate themselves to work for the Lord in full time Ministry.
They began as the Associate Pastor for the LaBelle Church of God. Their ministry continued while pastoring churches in New Jersey, Jacksonville, Clewiston, and Alva. MaryLu also served as the church secretary for the LaBelle Church of God and on the Ladies Ministries Board for the Florida Church of God. Another of her accomplishments include the management of the Lake Wimauma Convention and Campground Center.
Mary had a servant's heart. She brought joy and laughter to all she encountered. To know Mary was to be loved by her. She was at her best when she was planning and event or cooking a meal for those she loved. She took pride in the details like having the perfect table setting or decorating her home for every season. Nurturing animals and enjoying the gifts of nature were moments that she treasured. The mission of her life, however, was serving, sharing, and worshipping the Lord.

She took great pride in her family, making each one feel special and loved beyond measure.With a kind word, a card, a phone call or a sweet smile, she was both an encourager and everyone's prayer warrior.
