I met Mary at Jackson Middle School where I taught and she ran (oh yes, she did) the front office! First two words that come to mind are sweet and kind. First two visual images are beautiful and laughing. Mary was always smiling and busy. She was there for all of us in good times and bad. I know she will be missed by so many.
