My heartfelt condolences to the family and friends of Mary. Her extraordinary contributions to education and social justice align
perfectly with her Jesuit education at Gonzaga. I had the privilege of attending GU in Florence with Mary,
and I remember late night pasta runs, ice cream at Vivoli's and great travel experiences with her. Rest in peace. Carla Nuxoll, GU 1972.

Mary Carol or MC as I knew her was such a loving, caring person and was such an inspiration to me as well as others. She was so devoted to Witco even after she retired. She is greatly missed

I enjoyed the times that I interacted with M.C. She was an individual who gave a lot to the community through W.I.T.C.O. the Nampa Chamber, and through her involvement in starting CWI and serving on the Board of Trustees. Her leadership will be missed. She was a truly fine individual in all respects.

Mary Carol (M.C.) and I served as founding trustees for the College of Western Idaho and prior to that were active in Community College Now, a campaign formed to plan and execute the creation of the College through a special election. She was active in that campaign even to the point of walking door to door asking residents to sign a petition to start the College. She was instrumental, not only in creating CWI but in building the College to what it is today. She once gave me a tour of WITCO which was impressive. What I recall the most is that some of the participants came up during the tour and gave her a big hug. She was a positive force in many young lives.

I was honored to serve with MC Niland as a founding trustee of the College of Western Idaho. We served together for 13 years.
MC was a tenacious leader in everything she did. She started WITCO to serve people with disabilities and she was the driving force creating CWI.
Her tenure at CWI was exemplified by innovation, compassion, and excellence. She was a wonderful person and a great friend.

Oh, Maureen i am so sorry about MC. I am in shock. She was a strong, compassionate woman and an outstanding advocate for individuals with disabilities. My deepest sympathy.
