Mary Lynn was born on September 25, 1931 in Jackson, Mississippi to Elgie and Stanley Yeager. She graduated from Central High School in Jackson in 1949. She then attended the University of Southern Mississippi (then known as Mississippi Southern College) where she was a member of Chi Omega sorority. While attending Southern she met her future husband of fifty-seven years, William Spinks Still, Jr. (Bill) and after a brief courtship they were married. After graduation they settled at home in Jackson where they reared their two children, Billy and Jennifer. Mary Lynn originally worked for the Methodist Church, first for the Methodist Advocate newspaper and then as administrative secretary for Bishop Robert Morgan and Bishop Jack Meador. While in Jackson she was a faithful and active member of Alta Woods United Methodist Church for thirty-seven years. She and Bill worked closely with the youth and young adult groups in the church helping to nurture and cultivate countless young people to more meaningful lives. They were a model couple to those who were fortunate enough to know them. In 1997 she and Bill moved to Laurel to be near her daughter and family. Her years in Laurel were filled with traveling, family and wonderful friends. She found a new church home at Laurel First Methodist where she remained an active member.
