Mary Jane Grady

I met Mary at URI many years ago. I remember a sailing expedition we went on once.Pure enjoyment best describes the expression on her face as she skippered her little boat. Mary was always up for an adventure, and she had many. Sadly, her life was too short. Mary will be missed.

I'm so sorry to hear of Mary's passing. She was a regular visitor to Little Falls Cafe and a good neighbor in the village. I am happy we spoke not long ago when she shared about her diagnosis. My sympathy to her family. May she rest in peace.

Mary wrote some wonderful articles on our renewable energy projects at Ponaganset High and always captured the essence of what the projects and people were about. Thank you Mary for your writing and all that you shared with us. Yours truly seems to be a full and adventurous life well lived.
God Bless you and your family

I knew Mary as a writer for the Robb Report. She interviewed me on a number of actions for articles she was writing. Mary was always a delight to to work with, had a great sense of humor and was sharp as a tack. I will miss my interviews with Mary. My heart goes out to all her family and friends. God speed Mary.

This is tremendously sad news. Mary was one of my favorite aviation media people to work with, because she took the time to understand and get it right. I always looked forward to seeing her at EAA AirVenture Oshkosh each year. After reading her obituary, it shouldn't have surprised me that there was so much more depth in Mary's life than just the sliver where we interacted. We're all poorer because of her passing.

My dear friend Mary~ always so kind and wise and willing to learn.
Always wanting to share her knowledge and ideas through her writing and artwork. I will treasure our many adventures ~ from riding the bus to Providence Public Library to roaming the old back trails of hidden Rhode Island. I will always love you my old friend.

So very sad to learn of Mary's death. She was so full of life, learning, and sharing her knowledge. She will be missed..

So sorry to hear of Mary's passing. She was one of the kindest people ever knew. A treasure. And a trusted friend in our high school days.

Dear Ken and Jean, I am so sorry to learn of the passing of Mary, one of my former students at Coventry High.

My condolences to your family. I will be remembering all of you in my prayers.
