Mary L. Dressner, 90, of St. Simons Island passed away Friday, May 17, 2019, at Hospice of the Golden Isles. Mary was born in Lancaster County, Pennsylvania. During her college summers, she worked at the shore in Wildwood, New Jersey, where she met her husband Robert L. Dressner. From 1988 to 2005 they owned and operated the popular Dressner's Village Café on Saint Simons Island. Robert and Mary were married for sixty years, until his death in 2013. Mary was beloved for her deep faith in God, and her sweet loving spirit. All her activities-hosting, cooking, serving, praying-were completed with care, excellence, and grace. Her interest in and commitment to pray for global missions encouraged many in her church. Content to be a behind-the-scenes figure, her presence was like a refreshing, gentle breeze. She is survived by her brothers, John (Pearl) and Dan (Judy); her sister, Esther (David); her 3 sons, Paul (Judy) Dressner, David (Judy) Dressner, and Jim (Elaine) Dressner; 8 grandchildren, Bob, Chris, Kendall (Justin) Lyles, Courtney (J.C.) Walker, Kevin (Emily), Brian (Rachel), Julie, and Cade Robinson; and 2 great-grandsons, Ezekiel and Timothy Lyles. She was preceded in death by her parents, Amos S. and Phoebe Rutt, her sister, Mildred, and her brother Clarence. Visitation with the family and a life celebration service will be held Saturday, June 15th at Golden Isles Presbyterian Church, 48 Hampton Point Drive, St. Simons Island. Visitation will begin at 1:30 pm, followed by the memorial service starting at 2:30 pm. The Reverend Alex Brown will officiate.
