Mary Rita was my best friend when we both were attending Mills College on graduate fellowships ( 1950-52)She had a wonderful sense of humor. I have just learned of her death today. Considering the sense of loss I feel after all these years, I can only imagine how much her family must be missing her. Condolences.

Mary was my supervisor, mentor, and friend. She was a wonderful psychologist and brilliant with and about children. I have just learned about her death, and would like to send my sympathies to her family, especially her beloved Rod.

So many years of good, hard work. I remember Mary as funny, devoted to family and the children she worked with, and seamlessly understanding. I'm honored to have worked with her those years in the Child Study Unit at UCSF.
