Mary Ditzel Obituary
Born in Fort Collins, at Poudre Valley Hospital on October 12, 1948. Mary graduated from Ft. Collins High School in 1966.
Lover of golf, travel, cooking and especially family. A true soul nourisher. Always silly and free spirited, a woman who could put a smile on anyone's face.
Met, married and spent her life with the love of her life, Pat Ditzel from 1992 until her untimely passing in Kissimmee, Florida on March 20, 2021.
Mary said her joy in life was her daughter, Jennifer. She was Jen's best play mate, devoted, caring and Jen's best friend.
Daughter of Bill and Shirley Goff. She is survived by husband Pat in Kissimmee, Florida; daughter Jen in West Palm Beach, Florida; brother Mike and his wife Maggie of Loveland; sister Mindy Zscheile and her husband Phil of Windsor; nephew Brent Fosdick, niece Holly Fosdick, niece Kara (Cory) Sample and their daughter, Kadence.
Mary is now on the first tee at the golf course of her dreams in a matching outfit, including visor. Words cannot describe how much she will be missed.

I am sorry to hear of Mary's passing. I worked with her in the late nineties and early 2000s at Oppenheimer funds. She and I shared many laughs. She was one funny lady with some great wisdom.

Mary was so kind to me and I always looked forward to seeing Mary and Pat when they visited Jen back in the KNOP days. I will miss her laugh and her funny sense of humor! Thinking of you Pat and Jen Jackson with love.
