Mr. Mabry was the founder of Maybury Fencing, Inc. of Norwood. He was born October 28, 1945 in Stanly County to the late Henry Thomas Mabry and Ruth Annette Carpenter Mabry. He is sur- vived by his wife, Hilda T h o m p s o n Mabry; sons, Roger Mabry, Jr. and wife, Mendy, Ashley "Sparky" Mab- ry, and Aaron Mabry and compan- ion, Season Barfi eld, all of Norwood; brothers, Travis Mabry of Norwood and the Rev. Gerald Mabry and wife, Doloris, of Walterboro, S.C.; and grandchildren, Raegan, Kadie Rae, Claire and Alyssa Mabry. Mr. Mabry began the company on February 3, 1988 as a subcontrac- tor installing fence as well as deliver- ing appliances for Sears. The family owned and operated fi rm was incor- porated in 2004. The company slogan, chosen by Mr. Mabry, is "Good Fences Make Good Neighbors." When the company was started the oldest son was 15, and the young- est was nine. This allowed for lots of summer labor and after school fence opportunities. Two of the sons, Rog- er Mabry, Jr. and Aaron Mabry, have continued in the business. The company has experienced steady, continued growth throughout the years, and an annual sales mile- stone was achieved in June just prior to Mr. Mabry's death that had stayed out of reach over the past several years, according to Roger, Jr. The company continues on with Hilda Mabry running the offi ce, and Roger, Jr. managing the operation. "Our mom is joked at now be- cause, at the time, she worked for Allison Manufacturing in the offi ce, and had said he needed to get a 'real' job. She has now been working for the fence company since 1998," said Rog- er, Jr. "With the addition of four grand- daughters to take care of over the last few years, his attention shifted to them," said Roger, Jr. "With ages ranging from 10 to three, they kept him busy. Many fence quotes had to be scheduled around when 'PaPa' was dropping off the girls to and from school, and taking them in the evenings pretty much anywhere they wanted. Three of the granddaughters lived next door, which allowed for continued spoiling. "He always liked to give out a company pen to everyone when he went somewhere and called it their souvenir," said Roger, Jr. "He liked to list himself on his business cards as Fence Consultant. He is loved and will be missed by all." Roger Mabry, Sr. and grand- daughters Raegan, Claire and Alyssa at a church retreat on Jeckyl Island, Georgia.
