Mary was a very special cousin of ours whom we always admired and respected for her bravery and interesting life. She was always proud of her Swedish heritage, and,who loved her grandparents and, family members so much.

Mary, we will never forget you and your many accomplishments.

I have admired Mary since I was a little girl. I always thought she had wonderful life experiences being a WASP Pilot during WWII. I remember the time she shared her pilot log after I earned my Pilot certification. It was a real honor to see. I will always hold a special place in my heart for Mary.
Special blessings to her family and we will keep them in our prayers.
