Mary will be remembered for her love she shared with everyone she met. Our hearts are heavy as she leaves this world to join Jesus and sing with the angels. Peace and love to Annika and Jerry.

"Mary, MaryBeth, MaeMae, Mare" were just some of the names we had for her but I simply called her "Cuz". I will forever miss our laughing fits, those looks to each other that would give us the giggles, our silent communication but yet we knew exactly what the other one was thinking, being sent into the garage or outside because we couldn't stop laughing, those super tight hugs, and let us not forget our full body contact game of "spoons". I love you Cuz! My deepest sympathies to Mary's entire family.

I will always remember Mary and the joy she had for all things, especially her family. Her laughter would fill a room and warm your heart. Our prayers go out to her family and those she left behind. May you find peace and comfort in knowing that she is with the lord and free from her pain. With Deepest Sympathy...Kim & John Tophen

I am so sorry to hear of Mary's passing. She put up a heck of a fight for a very long time. Now that she has gone to be with the Lord, she is whole and healthy again and can rest in beautiful peace as our guardian angel. My deepest sympathy to your family.

My sincere and deepest condolences to the family! I am a 1987 Cooper classmate of Mary's and am in complete shock by this news! May Mary be resting in God's peace and may the good Lord be with her family and give them strength.

This lighted candle represents the light of Mary's positive and caring nature here on this earth. It also represents the light with which she'll watch over all her earthly loved ones. My sincere sympathy to all the Bruckner and Kelly family members. May God bless and watch over you always.

"Mary Kelly, the woman so beautiful she has two first names", that the quote I said to Mary each time she would visit the Minneapolis Farmer's Market. I met Mary over 10 years ago, and she became a wonderful friend. I will miss her, but always remember the inspirational/positive attitude she carried to the end. Your friends at the Farmer's Market will never forget you!!! Thank you for bringing joy to our lives. The Brat Man at the Market.
