Mary will be greatly missed by all who had the privilege of knowing her. I met Mary as a member of the Arcadia Republican Women’s Club many years ago. She was always helpful and mentoring to me. I will miss her funny stories and happy demeanor. Rest In Peace Mary.

Mary was the first person to say hello to me, when I came back to Our Savior, after a long time away.
I used to sit behind her, and eventually she said, you know you could sit beside me. And I did for as long as she was able to come and worship. When she was no longer driving, she asked if she could hitch a ride with me! We’ll how do you say no to this beautiful person.
Mary became a person I could laugh and cry with. Share anything with! She became my Spiritual Mother.
She will be missed! Until we meet again my beautiful friend, I love you! ❤

Will miss you Aunt Mary.
Those times spent with you when visiting Ohio, especially at Uncle Harold’s, will be fondly remembered.
Because of you and your brothers it’s an honor to be a Barefoot.

I am so thankful to have really gotten to know my Great Aunt Mary over the past several years. I enjoyed the family history, stories, and enthusiasm that she shared during our conversations. I particularly appreciate the spirit of generosity that she embodied. I am also thankful that I didn't wait another year to finally make the trip from Dayton to Arcadia to visit. Sara and I made that trip last November and had a wonderful time with her. Particularly memorable is taking Great Aunt Mary to church and walking her up to partake in communion. She said she hadn't been able to walk to the front for over a year, but that day she found the energy! I will certainly miss her and the phone visits we shared together.

I am so heartbroken over the loss of my Great Aunt Mary. From the time I was little I have the most wonderful memories of her. She always included my Mom and I as her guest at all of her fashion shows. I remember as a little girl at Christmas touring holiday homes with her in Arcadia and Pasadena. I loved spending time with her and seeing how pretty she was always dressed. I am so grateful I had my Aunt Mary in my life for all these years; but it’s never long enough! I am glad she is no longer suffering with illness and has reunited with her family, and Heavenly Father! I miss her and loved her so much!

Mary was a close and dear friend of my family for over 50+ years. I would call her every Friday to check up on her. We shared a mutual love for our dogs. She will now enjoy eternal life as she dances to the silent waltz of Angels at Heaven's golden gate. Life is a series of bookmarks—always with new chapters—thank God for pages of Faith, Hope, & Love. God Loves You, Mary, and so do I. {{Hugs}} Ron
