Her Belief
More Than A Hat Collection
Mary Kingcannon believed that how a woman carried herself mattered. She taught women to walk with confidence, present themselves with dignity, and never underestimate the power of showing up as their best selves. Her love for hats became one expression of a much larger message about grace, excellence, and self-respect.

Heaven's Radio Angel
The voice that reached far beyond the CSRA.
For more than forty years, Mary Kingcannon's voice carried the gospel across the airwaves. Her radio career began in 1981 at KDKO in Denver, Colorado, then continued in Georgia where she served the CSRA on multiple stations — including WTHB 1550 Gospel Alive, WKZK, and WTHB Praise 96.9. Across every frequency she became the voice listeners woke up to, prayed with, and leaned on. They called her The Radio Angel — gentle, fierce in faith, and full of grace.
