Mary was such a lovely person and I have always loved her. Her sister Frances was my brothers wife. She and Mary were so close and loved dearly by everyone that was fortunate enough to have known them. The last time I saw Mary was at Frances and Carls 60th wedding aniversary. It is so sad they were both so ill at the same time and left us just days apart. They will surely be missed. With thoughts and prayers to you all. Fannie Rae(Carls sister)

I remember a beautiul woman with a gentle and loving spirit. I had not seen Mary for many, many years, but I respected her and appreciate the memories that I have of her from the 60's at Monument Heights.

Elaine, Lauren and Matthew,

I remember many fun vacations with Mary, Earl and Kenneth in the 1950's and 1960's. She was a wonderful friend and will be missed.
