Yes, Mary's role was complete after the virgin birth had taken place. Well, THAT should certainly be proven by Scripture, right? I'm waiting......

Well, she was part of the posse that thought Jesus was crazy and "they went out to seize him, for they were saying, "He is out of his mind." Mark 3:20, 3:31

Do you know of any Old Testament prophecies regarding Mary, greater than her role in the Virgin Birth?

I’m waiting for the scripture that says her role was complete.

And Paul martyred Stephen. So what?

Isaiah 7:10-17 10Again the LORD spoke to Ahaz, 11"Ask a sign of the LORD your God; let it be deep as Sheol or high as heaven." 12But Ahaz said, "I will not ask, and I will not put the LORD to the test." 13And he said, "Hear then, O house of David! Is it too little for you to weary men, that you weary my God also? 14Therefore the Lord himself will give you a sign. Behold, the virgin shall conceive and bear a son, and shall call his name Immanuel. 15He shall eat curds and honey when he knows how to refuse the evil and choose the good. 16 For before the boy knows how to refuse the evil and choose the good, the land whose two kings you dread will be deserted. 17 The LORD will bring upon you and upon your people and upon your father’s house such days as have not come since the day that Ephraim departed from Judah—the king of Assyria."

The only mention of the virgin birth in the prophecy is that a virgin conceive and bear a son.

It says nothing else at all about said virgin remaining a virgin perpetually, nothing about her being sinless or holy, or any of the other stuff associated with Mary.

The prophecy was fulfilled when she conceived and gave birth. That's all that was necessary.
