Mary (Mitzi) loved to go to Las Vegas, with her husband Tom and spent much of her time playing the one arm bandits and bingo. Her favorite past times, were playing lotto, watching Wheel of Fortune, and Jeopardy. She was a very strong woman; had many health issues since 1999; everyday she endured so much and fought to be here for us. Mitzi will be deeply missed by her family, relatives, friends, and neighbors. She was a kind, gentle, and generous woman who personally touched the hearts of many people. Her laughter will leave lasting memories imprinted in the hearts of her children, sisters, and those who were close to her. Our Mom got her angel wings and joined her husband (Tom), our dad, in heaven; (since his passing; April 2009) where he has been preparing their perfect heavenly home for both of them to be reunited in eternal life. We will cherish the time we had them, hold close the memories we shared, and will dearly miss them both. Private arrangements were provided by Inland Memorial Cremations and Burials of Upland.
