Not sure what to say?

Such a beautiful home going for her life was held at St Pauls. Mary held a special place in my heart. Her upbeat, smiling nature brought a light to those around her. Her family was the most important thing to her. She never missed a birthday and loved gathering for the holidays. She loved a good conversation and was full of stories that could last for hours. I was blessed to have known her. Condolences to her family. She will be missed.

A Beautiful Person.

Denny & I will remember Mary with grace. Whenever we saw her she a light to the room.
We remember many nights at Kaisers Thursday dinner of Potroast with Mary & Dick. We always had a few laughs together.
She will be missed. Our deepest condolences to you all.

I was one of Mary’s poker friends. We all love Mary , she was a character when we played card. She loved winning. She made us laugh. Even though we only played for nickels . We were also in our church club the shamrocks., were we became friends.
Mary loved to laugh and have a good time, and never wanted to go home.
She will be missed by all.

To the Grosskopf family.
Your mom was one special lady. She was very kind to me when my husband was nearing the end. On bridge day they all filled the room with laughter and solving the words problems. I know she is up there with her friends.
sincerely,
Nancy Kolar Creaney.


I used to bowl with Mary in the Thursday morning Wise Owl league for any years. She was such a fun lady. She lived a great, inspirational life. Sending love and hugs to all of her family!

What a wonderful person and best friend. It is difficult to think of her gone. She loved her family and enjoyed spending time with them as she aged. I know we will meet again. Love you my friend!!
