I love this picture of her. She was so young and happy. I will miss her. We met when we both started in Rehab around the same time at the same center. She was a great friend. Thinking of and praying for all of you.
I first met Mary many years ago at the El Dorado SRS. She brought a breath of fresh air to our work place with her no nonsense approach to life and finding laughter in most situations. She was a “hoot” and always a pleasure to work with! We both moved on to other jobs, years passed and suddenly we reconnected through work/Via Christi yet again! I count myself so very lucky to have worked with Mary not once but twice! She is going to be greatly missed! My prayers and deepest sympathy go out to her family and close friends during this time.
I met Mary the day I interviewed for my first job at Via Christi 20 years ago. I immediately loved her spirit and genuine personality. I feel lucky to have known her and send love and prayers to her family during this difficult time.
Mary was my step-mother, but I always thought of her as my second mom. We didn’t always see eye-to-eye, but I loved her dearly and will miss having her in my life. I am glad that her suffering and pain are over, but i definitely feel a large hole is left by her passing. I love you dearly mom and I am glad we got to spend a week with you before you passed. I hope that you are reunited with Granny and Grandad, as well as Uncle Larry. I love you, miss you, and will think of you often. Love -Chris
Even though we had lost contact, I met Mary and Randy through working at Beech. I remember how much fun we had on a Caribbean Cruise with other. Laughs at the beach and snorkeling are my best memories. I am sure that she will be missed by her family and friends. Krystal (Winkle) Hutfles
Our thoughts and prayers are with you.
