Mary Eilers family, how blessed you are to have had Mary in your life. What a wonderful women, mother, grandmother and friend and mentor. To say she was the life of the party is an understatement, bringing love, compassion to all those she met. I love her note she left you. Wish I could celebrate with you tomorrow. May her memory be eternal✝ Mary was so happy to have such a wonderful family, you were all very good to her.

I was fortunate to grow up on the same block with the Eilers family, and Mary was like my second mom, I was always welcomed in their warm and happy home - and dinner table- I loved Mary’s spaghetti! She will always live in heart! My prayers and condolences to all her friends and family.
Love, Eileen Cowley

I was fortunate to know Mary through Jeff Leeper. We went to movies and lunch together. I learned right away that she had a quick wit and sharp mind at 97 years young. She had me laughing so hard when she said very seriously that she had to quit working at Mr. Peeps because she couldn’t find a bus that could get her there. Beautiful lady. I hold you close to my heart.
