MCALESTER, Okla. — A local family and community are mourning the loss of a historic figure this week, as Mary Matilda Factory has passed away at 107 years old. Her name may be familiar for some, as FOX23 highlighted her in our Black History Month coverage this year and covered her 107th birthday. Factory is known for her work with the Apollo 11 Moon mission. Every community has someone whose impact reaches far beyond city limits and for the City of McAlester, that person was Mary Matilda Factory.
