Mary Hayslip Obituary
07/07/1954 - 12/05/2025
Mary Frances Hayslip passed away Dec 5 at 7:40am. She was born at Hermann Hospital on 7/7/54 to Ella Mae Wright and Gordon Frank Hayslip. To celebrate her 7th birthday, Mary's family had a picnic by the duck pond at Hermann Park. She made her birthday wishes –that she could hold a duck, and have a beautiful life. One of the ducks approached her, and she got her first wish. And Mary had a beautiful life - both of her wishes came true.
She is survived by her sister, Nancy Duhe. A memorial will be held in her honor in early 2026. Donations can be made in her honor to your favorite charity.

Mary and I met in 5th grade at Valley Oaks Elementary. I´m so grateful that we reconnected and were able to get together for lunch the last time I was in town. She was a very special person.
