She was the most energetic person I’ve ever known, seldom taking a day off. Her family was always top priority, then her hobbies and friends. I’ll always admire her stamina. Love and prayers
I went to grade school, jr high & high school w/Mary & got reacquainted when her & her husb had their 50th anniv. Meant to have lunch w/her while in KS & never did. Sure wish I would have got one last visit w/her. She was a beautiful person.
Aunt Mary was always part of the glue that held our family together. From hosting Christmas Eve every year at her home (when I was younger) to always commenting on a photo of our kids posted to Facebook (as I got older and had moved away). She was always there for her family and relatives as a source of inspiration, love and life. She will be greatly missed for now until we are all reunited again someday. Love you, Aunt Mary.
