We became friends with Mary and Joe 25 years ago when we moved to Eastman just one house away from them. Through the years, we enjoyed walks, dinners, and Eastman trips with them. We shared good times and bad, successes and challenges. Mary was always insightful, and offered good advice when we needed it.
We will miss Mary, and will treasure our memories of her. We will always think fondly of her when we see the quilts she made us, including the wall hanging of loons, the bird we all loved seeing and hearing on Eastman Lake.

I had the pleasure of cutting Mary’s hair! She was a client of mine for just the last few years of her life. I will remember her nice smile and gentle manner, she was a very sweet lady. I will miss seeing her. My condolences to her entire family
