A true Wilson woman--she made us all proud. So sorry to hear of her passing. A cousin, Patricia Conor Hodapp (grand daughter of C.T. Wilson)

Mary... your incredible, adventurous and bold spirit was intoxicating and will no doubt continue to inspire many for generations to come. Rob... I send you deep condolences and the biggest hug I can. May you carry on with your infectious smile every time you think and mention Mary. Cheers to a life...

Mary is truly an inspiration for all. An amazing woman who will always be cherished. Love and all the best to Rob and the entire family.

What an incredible life!
