Growing up, we always looked forward to a visit from or to our Aunt Mary. She was always upbeat and so full of energy. As an adult, I now realize that she was someone to admire and an example to by. She lived life simply in her apartment and didn't need a lot of material possessions. Her pleasures in life came from talking and visiting with family and friends. As did her brothers, Uncle William and my dad, Bob (aka "Frank"), Aunt Mary loved sharing stories about their childhood adventures...

Aunt Mary was a joyful, social whirlwind. She was so well versed in the family history, she wrote stories about her life, and chatted endlessly about her life. She embraced everyone with care and love. She was very smart and very well connected with family and friends. I will miss you deeply Aunt Mary. Your spirt is with me and I know you are in heaven. God bless you. I love you and miss you.

Aunt Mary was a joyful, social whirlwind. She wrote stories of the Eakle side of the family and she was very well versed on news, family history, and stayed connected with family and friends. Aunt Mary is in heaven, her spirit is with me and those she touched. I will dearly miss Aunt Mary and that saddens me deeply. Her love of life, enthusiastic spirit, her very high energy, her whole being was one of sharing and connecting.
Aunt Mary, I love you now and forever.

Aunt Mary, that’s who she was to me and also “my Dad’s sister”. She was amazingly sharp and well versed on family history & memories. Her smile, laughter and love of life personality are refreshing thoughts of her. I’m sad for family & friends that share this loss and offer my deepest sympathy to you. I like to believe that Aunt Mary is now united with my Dad, Uncle Lloyd & all other family & friends that now rest in peace. There is a new star in our Heaven ~ Sally

Mary Fately was one of the sweetest ladies ever. I met her through my cousin, Louise Burton, and was blessed to visit with her on many occasions. We will all miss Miss Mary and her sweet spirit.

I worked with Mary Fately for a short period of time at the downtown Newport News office of Basic Construction. I was there from 1979 to 1981. I always remember how she went to lunch with Louise Burton and Elizabeth Conkling. She was always a nice person and liked by all. My prayers are with the family during this time.
