Murfreesboro, NC - Mary Elizabeth Coggins Lassiter, 76, passed away surrounded by her family on July 2, 2025. She was born on July 17, 1948 to the late Albert Coggins, Sr. and Mary Hagwood Coggins. She was preceded in death by her husband of 39 years, William Jordan Lassiter, Jr. and her brother, Albert Cale Coggins, Jr.

Mary was a loving mother and grandmother and loved caring for and helping others. As a member of Victory Baptist Church in Roanoke Rapids, she would travel each and every Sunday to attend church services. When her health prevented her from traveling, she would watch services online every Friday and Wednesday so she would not miss a service.
