Mary was such a great women. My family and I were very lucky that she was there to help with my grandma in the Springtree Rehab. My grandma had alzhiemers disease so Mary would try to tell her things that would keep her in the bed because my grandmother was there trying to get her strength back from a stroke. Mary made us feel safer about her stay there. She was a wonderful person. She also talked to my mother over the past year trying to help her with the loss of my grandmother. I was really greatful for her help. We will miss her, but we know she is in a better place now.

If we can imitate only a fraction of Mary's love for Jehovah and her unwavering faith, we will be joyful servants of Jehovah. She has taught us so many things over the years. What a loving, spiritual sister. She will be missed by all those who loved her but soon, we will welcome her back with open arms. Our heartfelt sympathy goes out to all her special family & her multitude of friends. Affectionately, The Wanzer's
