Mary Ellen Foote

Mary was my absolute favorite aunt. My visits with her and Uncle John are some of my very best childhood memories. And that laugh of hers was so contagious! I miss her dearly.

I Only met Mary recently as she was going through her rehabilitation after her leg surgery. I was lucky to have had the opportunity to spend time with her and have this wonderful woman in my life before she left.

When Jim married my sister many years ago, Mary could not have been more welcoming to her 2 year old daughter, Corie. She welcomed her with open arms and was her grandma from day one.

I will never forget those two kindnesses from "Gramma Footie".

We have such good memories of living next door to your parents. They were Matt's godparents. Your Mom always had a treat for the kids. After we moved the kids still enjoyed going back to visit Mrs.Foote. We are so sorry for your loss.

Mary was such a big presence in our Woodstock community for as long as I can remember. She is going to be greatly missed!
