Mary Wade

That smile,.,.. oh my what a sweet lady,,, always loved to hear what Corkie and Don were up to,.,,

My mother Joyce Shipman lives at Arbor ridge Apartments. Mary was one of the first people she met when she moved in. Mary was such a wonderful woman and mom considered her one of her friends. I know I always enjoyed talking to her when I was there. I can only hope to be as spry and young as Mary was if God is willing to let me live as long. I want to extend my condolences to you and your family on behalf of myself and my mother.

Corky and Don, I want to extend my deepest condolences. I loved Mary so much! She always had such a wonderful smile and friendly greeting when she would shop at Safeway. I remember when she moved from her home and how she shared funny stories of you both so far away in Bend. I lost my birth mother this last month and can relate Corky how deep the pain can be. My heart goes out to you both.. Blessings Sue McDonald

Corky and all of the family, My deepest condolescenses in the loss of Mary. I still fondly remember the "luncheon date" that I went on with her and Neomi a few years back at the Hidden House and our conversation over some of the old times. Glad to hear that she was the gracious hostess till the end, just like Aunt Nannie, always having a plate of cookies and coffee ready for company. My prayers are with you.

I have missed not seeing Aunt Mary in Hazeldell,yes I considered her my Aunt too. I feel so blessed to have know her. She always was such a pleasant lady to be around. She was also so good to my friend Marie, they always teased each other about being only 2 months apart in age. So many great memories, thanks for sharing. Love to all.
Chuck and Billie Ann

We heard about Mary by accident. We think about her and Grandma's Pie Day frequently and will miss her.

Corky,Don, Skooter and family! Mary lived a long and interesting life. It was so nice to know her along the way.. Love to your family from the Ritters, Wayne, David, Elizabeth,Steve and God Bless our Pat!

Dear Don & Corky, Sounds like your Mother had a good life! I smiled @ the part about the Mariners as my Mom who died @ 85 also loved those Mariners:) Please know our thoughts are w/you. Love & Sympathy, Caroline & Terry Meredith
