Mary was a faithful volunteer at A Better Choice. We worked as a team. She would make beautiful layettes for newborn babies and moms and I would make sure the supplies she needed were readily accessible. I will remember her fondly for the many years of service and good cheer she gave to ABC.
You are in our thoughts and prayers! I always enjoyed talking with Mary at the Post Office! Debbie Retired Postmaster Colwich
In memory of Mary Regina Lies, Gary Lies lit a candle
Mary & her family are in our thoughts and prayers. Wayne remembers her telling him how exciting it was for us to have 3 Grandsons on the basketball court at Andale High School at one time. This was just one of the kind gestures she showed in her life.
You were my rock and my inspiration.
Mary always brought true joy to A Better Choice! On her days to package newborn gifts I knew I wouldn’t get much work done because we had to talk politics, sports, family, faith, and travel over some hot coffee. She lived her life with gusto and with confidence in the Lord. She is an inspiration to me. I know now with her prayers she is helping us more than ever. Lots of love.
Please accept our deepest condolences for your family’s loss.
