I am so sorry to hear that Mary has passed. She was such a positive influence on the many young people whom had the privilege to have her as a teacher! I worked with Mary at Mundell and Joan Martin schools and have never known a more giving and thoughtful person. Heaven has received a very special lady. Rest peacefully, Mary.

So sorry to read of her passing. I had her for a teacher in 4th and 5th grade teacher. She truly loved her students and teaching. So her many years later at the library and was so surprised she remembered me. Such a sweet lady!!
