Mary Felder

Mary Lee Dionne Felder

Very gently and peacefully, on Tuesday, July 28, 2026, Almighty God, in His infinite wisdom, mercy, and grace, called our beloved Mary Lee Dionne Felder from her earthly home to eternal rest.

Mary was born on April 10, 1980, in Clewiston, Florida, to Johnny Lee Felder and the late Emire Griffin-Felder. She spent her early years in Moore Haven, Florida, and later resided in the Avon Park and Tallahassee, Florida areas.

Mary was educated in the public schools of Florida and was a proud graduate of James S. Rickards High School, Class of 1998.

Mary was known for her outgoing personality, beautiful smile, kind heart, and the joy she brought to those around her. She had a passion for cooking and found great pleasure in putting a smile on the faces of others. Her warmth, love, and genuine spirit made a lasting impression on her family and friends.

Mary will be deeply missed by all who knew and loved her. She now joins in eternal rest her beloved mother, Emire Griffin-Felder, along with other cherished family members who preceded her in death.

Mary leaves a beautiful legacy of love and precious memories to be cherished by her father, Johnny Lee Felder of Clewiston, Florida; her devoted children, Mykeria Phillips, Wayne Phillips Jr., and Khaliyah Phillips, all of Tallahassee, Florida; her siblings, Maurice Gasper of Brooklyn, New York; Sophia Koonce (Emanuel) of Tallahassee, Florida; and Shantay Felder of Atlanta, Georgia; and her beloved grandchildren, Paris Miller, De’iyla Faulk, Kayson Phillips, and De’mir Phillips.

She also leaves to cherish her memory her special companion, Tree Reeves, along with a host of relatives, extended family members, and dear friends who will forever remember her beautiful smile, outgoing personality, caring heart, and the love she so freely shared.

Though Mary’s physical presence is no longer with us, the love she gave, the memories she created, and the lives she touched will remain forever in the hearts of those who loved her.
