Obituary

Tarboro -

Mary Lou Tripp Lancaster, age 68, passed away early Saturday morning, October 5, 2024 in Tarboro, North Carolina.

Mary had a full and wonderful life that began on St. Patrick's Day, 1956  as a daughter born to Johnny and Ethel Joyner Tripp in Pitt County, NC. She grew to be a devoted wife and mother who shared a strong sense of family and dedicated work ethic with her husband, Ray. Together, she and Ray built a successful business circle and a precious family that was the light of Mary's life. She was a beloved mother, grandma, sister, and dear friend who will be deeply missed.

In addition to her parents, Mary was preceded in death by her loving husband of thirty-two years, Lester Ray Lancaster; their son, Lester "Little Ray" Lancaster, II; and brothers, Joey and Jack Tripp.

Mary is survived by her daughter and son-in-law, Lisa Raye and Jason Pittman of Tarboro; son, Richie Fender of Virginia; sister, Brenda Kinnin of Tarboro; and brother, Johnny Tripp and wife, Jean of Washington, NC. She will also be missed by her sweetest blessings, grandchildren, Jackson, Lily Raye, and Raven Hazel; along with many family friends and other extended relatives.
