   Paul advanced in the utility industry to become Chief Operating Officer of Middle South Utilities Corporation, now Entergy Corporation. In 1958, they moved with their two daughters to Little Rock, where Mr. Canaday was Chief Executive Officer of Arkansas Power and Light Company, now Entergy Arkansas.
   
   During her lifetime, Mary's faith was her sustenance. She was an active member of the Presbyterian Church, Sunday School teacher, choir member, and holder of many church offices. She was also a school teacher (teaching two of her brothers), homemaker, volunteer, avid duplicate bridge player, enthusiastic traveler, member of the Country Club of Little Rock, and a hands-on grandmother to her seven precious grandchildren, the delights of her life. Her friends and family appreciated her sense of humor, ready smile, hearty laugh, singing, piano playing, independence, inner strength and gusto for life.
   
   Her husband, Paul O. Canaday (d. May 1962), daughter Mary Jane Miller (d. June 2002), parents, and four brothers, Wendell, Charles, John, and Ed Anderton, all precede her in death.
