Not sure what to say?

I will remember Mary Sue as a wonderfully vivacious lady who always had a cheerful outlook on life. She was SO happy to have met Eugene and loved their life together. She was dedicated to the teachers being cared for through their insurance as she took care of so many people in her life. I was happy to have known her.

I will always remember Mary Sue as a kind, loving friend. My daughter Ashley and I had a lot of fun visiting her in Colorado in the summer. She made everything so much fun! I know she would be happy to know that her faith always came shining through in everything she did. I will always love her and remember her and her sweet spirit!

Some of my favorite childhood memories are with Shu Shu at her house in Colorado. Every summer, my Mom & I (and sometimes with sweet Fayrene) would road trip from Texas up to the mountains to stay with Shu Shu, Karas, and Brock. Shu Shu made our trips magical with hiking, special picnics, fishing, and singing. She always made everything fun, and she had such a beautiful and kind spirit. Shu Shu could make everyone around her feel loved and special. I can hear her sweet voice now saying, “Hey...

Mary was the kindest and most generous woman I know. She will be greatly missed. Loved her so. Debbie Chapman

Many years of friendship, A life time of memories. Hope you catch " the big one" in heaven, dear friend.

Our Dear neighbor who we shared a back gate with for almost 30 years. We will always have the fond memories of her sitting in her little boat fishing for Crappie and sometimes doing insurance business at the same time. She was a beautiful person and we loved her and will miss her so much.

So sorry to hear of Mary Sue's passing.

I’m so very sorry for your loss. I feel honored to be a part to the teacher network that she served. Prayers for all who knew and loved her.

Love you Aunt Mary Sue, Carolyn Bryant Jaris
