Mary welcomed my mom & lots of other new residents as they moved into assisted living at 1st Community. I believe she helped many with that transition to a new life style. She was very people oriented- will always remember her for that. Special lady. So sorry for her family. God Bless you

My condolences to the family. Mrs. Kridler was my kindergarten teacher at Lutz. I was just talking about her a few months ago. She was such a wonderful lady! We’re praying for you.
