Rarely does a single day go by that I don't touch on a little memory of Mary. You see she brought me back a coffee mug from Pennsylvania when she and her mother took this really cool trip out there in the early 80's
And they visited the Pfaltzgraff factory.
I still use that same mug to this very day, every day, and with each cup of coffee or tea I remember a smile or a laugh or maybe some little thing we once talked about.
She maybe gone but not at all forgotten.

Our deepest condolences to David and Rosemary and all the brothers and sisters!
So very very sad to hear Of Mary's passing! Mary and I were once closest friends.
We worked together for some years in the 80's.
We travelled on a few international trips together!
We enjoyed more than a few trips up in the hills to burn marshmallows and hot dogs!
Mary even lived with us for a half a year. Easiest house guest a person could ever have! We were sorry when she left and moved on to a new life.
Rest In Peace Mary! I wish we could have stayed in contact. Often we have missed you!

We met Mary many years ago when she worked in Winslow for the Hopi Three Canyon Ranch.
Mary was a very kind and caring person. She lived her life well and we are very sorry she is gone.
