  1. Remembering Mary, I can’t help but recall how much she cherished her membership in the Valley Center TOPS Club. She was always eager to lead in song and was always up for a good time.

    Her vibrant spirit and love for life were truly remarkable.

  5. Remembering my fun Aunt Mary, and her joy of living.
    Growing up in Wichita I remember her great love of animals, and all the many she had. She was fun to be around, and told many great stories. She loved rocks and stones.
    She was kind, caring and very compassionate towards everyone, and especially animals.

  7. Mary
    You were such a bright light to so many people, myself included. You taught me so much. I like to think that some of the good I have in myself is thanks to you. You were such a pure soul. I find a lot of comfort in knowing that you are definitely up there looking over all of us.
    You literally watched me grow up from birth. I will forever cherish all of our memories together.
