City staff remember Bruce Mabry, General Services landscaping team member
Summary
City General Services director Gina Probst described the sudden death of landscaping team member Bruce Mabry and shared funeral details and colleagues’ condolences.
Gina Probst, director of General Services, told council on Thursday of the sudden passing of Bruce Mabry, a landscaping-team employee who joined the city in 2019.
Probst described Mabry as a dedicated worker “whose reputation was one of integrity,” and said colleagues noted his attention to detail and contributions to downtown projects including retaining walls around trees along Pettigrew Street near the railroad corridor and Durham Station. She said Mabry was devoted to his family and that the department and the city would hold his family in their thoughts.
Probst announced Mabry’s service was scheduled for 6 p.m. at Strickland and Jones Memorial Funeral Services in Roxboro and asked council to hold his family in their prayers.
Why it matters: Mabry’s work supported downtown maintenance and public‑space projects; staff remarks provided family and service information and acknowledged city condolences.
