Not sure what to say?

Mary Erbez was a cornerstone of the Los Medanos College Foundation, but her impact went far beyond her title. To those of us lucky enough to work alongside her, she was a source of profound wisdom and unwavering support. I will forever be grateful for her sage advice and the steady, thoughtful way she championed our students' success. She didn't just serve on the board; she invested her heart into the future of every student at LMC. She will be deeply missed, but her legacy lives on in the...

Many great memories. May her memory be eternal.

Denise, I am so sorry to hear of the passing of your mom. I know you loved her dearly and we’re very close to her. And in reading her obituary she sounds like an amazing woman. What a gift to have her as your mom. Sending many hugs to you and condolences to the whole family. With Love, Meg Rosten

Mary was the most honest, gracious, and modest person I have ever met. She influenced so many, myself included, to do the right thing when it wasn't easy, and to do it with kindness and acceptance of others. Mary was a positive force for all those lucky enough to have known her. My sympathies to the family she loved so much.

I met Mary over 30 years ago at Delta Park when I started taking Aqua Aerobics. I instantly felt the warmth she had and the friendliness she gave towards everyone. She made me feel so comfortable and included and our friendship started. I enjoyed our conversations in the class and at our "water class" functions that she attended. She was someone who was a role model on how to live life well. She impacted all that she met........and that will be her lasting legacy.

Deepest Condolences
To the families of Mary Erbez, remembering her as a great city employee for many years may she rest in eternal peace
