Mary was adored by all. She transcended age, Her knowledge and perspective was a source of entertainment for all ages. She and my father enjoyed Kansas State sports and conversations for many years prior to his death in 2009, and Mary and I enjoyed visits the past ten years. I loved hearing about history as she lived it. She was a loving and adorable relative that is so missed.

I have truly enjoyed the past 8 years getting to know Mary. We have shared so many stories and memories, that I feel like I have known her for a lot longer. In a job where you are not to have favorites, she was very special to me. This darn virus has hit a heavy blow to my heart, taking her. I am so sorry for you loss, Sue and David. She talked of you both often.

Mary and Dave built our first house. They were an inspiration to all the Essers. I particularly loved Mary for visiting my mom regularly.

Denny and I thoroughly enjoyed Mary. When we moved back to Wamego, she shared monkey grass as well as a cutting off her burning bush. All are flourishing and we have gotten more cuttings off our burning bush to form a "wall" in the alley. She also shared her apples. Yum! About 10 days before she died, she called me to make sure I'd gotten the Covid benefits through the Potawatomi tribe. She sounded so good. We are very sorry for your loss but glad that she did not have to suffer long. She has...

We have lost a very dear friend!

Sue and David, our thoughts and prayers are with you. Mary will be deeply missed.

Mary was the coolest woman I've ever had the pleasure of knowing. That darn virus prevented us from visiting the last few months. She will be greatly missed by all who knew her.
