Mobility Mary

**Linda Stone** (allegedly died 2021), better known online as **Mobility Mary**, was a physically handicapped YouTuber. She was most known for her videos in which she documented her experiences being an individual who uses a mobility scooter. Her over-the-top reactions to the daily inconveniences she faces garnered her fame online. Her physical appearance has never been shown.

She was first mentioned on the *H3 Podcast* in August of 2019, and has since been mentioned numerous times throughout the years. Most recently notable, in March 2023 she inspired a video submitted to the Green Screen Tournament.

## Background

Mobility Mary was a physically handicapped senior citizen that resided in the Mar Vista area of Los Angeles, California, U.S.A. She gained fame online by posting videos on her YouTube channel named "oupsie" starting in 2006. Her "oupsie" channel has since been taken down, but her videos have been archived by a YouTube channel named "The Ghost of Mobility Mary".

Most of Mary's videos consisted of her outdoor excursions on her mobility scooter. She taped these videos with a camera attached to the front of her mobility scooter, similar to a dashcam. She became famous for her various "freak out" videos, which involve her yelling and becoming stressed out over mildly inconvenient situations. These include yelling at drivers for getting too close to her, drivers blocking the crosswalk, yelling at dog walkers for not having their dogs on leashes, homeless denying her charity, having her path blocked by tents/construction, and yelling at those who get in her way. It is because of these videos that she landed the title, "Mobility Mary."

## History on H3

Mobility Mary was first discussed on the podcast on August 16, 2019, on H3 Podcast #135. The crew viewed videos of her confronting bikers and pedestrians blocking the sidewalk, as well as pet owners walking their dogs off-leash. Ethan was inspired by Mary and her scooter, and bought The Gatsby in September 2019.

After the crew learned of her alleged passing, they looked into the Zillow listing of her former home. They learned the new homeowners were selling Mary's belongings in an auction. They attempted to purchase it, but were ultimately unsuccessful.

Despite her passing, she has been mentioned on the podcast numerous times. Most recently notable, she was the inspiration behind a submission to the Green Screen Tournament in After Dark #96.

## Supposed Death

Although the circumstances and exact date are currently unknown, as of 2021 Linda Stone had reportedly passed away. On December 2, 2021, Reddit user u/Sockmebaby posted his findings on the r/h3h3productions subreddit. Researching her home address, he found that it was listed on Zillow under a real estate agent named Craig Mason. Mason supposedly specializes in the selling of deceased people's homes. Fans were able to determine that this was in fact her house by comparing the listing photos to videos she had made where the home could be seen. In one of the pictures depicting its vacant exterior, an abandoned motor scooter similar to the one she is famous for was seen in the corner.

The H3 crew attempted to purchase the original scooter from the home's current owners who were selling Mary's belongings in an auction, but their attempt was ultimately unsuccessful.

It should be noted that no official obituary has been found published for Linda Stone. Others that have researched the topic claim that she may never have passed at all, and instead might by staying at a retirement facility in Los Angeles.
