Mary Jenkins Hardin
March 24, 1969 — November 19, 2015
Mary Jenkins Hardin, 46, with love and light made the beautiful journey to her next adventure on November 19, 2015. To everyone she touched, she is aptly described… “She was that rare and beautiful human being filled with the qualities that transcend time, place, and culture… a smart, warm, welcoming, authentic, unapologetic, curious, direct, open, and loving woman.” She taught us all to mindfully seize every moment and to live life on your own terms. She changed the physical and social fabric of her community.

She was baptized and a member at St. Peter’s Episcopal Church in Columbia, TN as well as St. Augustine’s Chapel in Nashville, TN.

Sheriff of Nashville; parents, Connie Hardin and Kile Patrick and Tom and Dwayna Hardin of Columbia; sisters, Kim Hardin of Nashville and Olivia H. Hardin of Brooklyn, NY; brother, Wesley G. and Abi Hardin of Huntsville, AL; nephews and nieces, Hardin F.
