Mary Hassell

I just learned about Mary´s passing. She was a beautiful soul inside and out. I feel blessed to have k own her. She was so loving and generous with her time and presence. I am sincerely sorry for your loss. I knew of her love for animals, especially dogs and equines, and so admired her gentle intelligent kind and honest demeanor.

I used to be a fellow boarder at a barn where Mary kept her horses and mules. I had the honor of riding her mules. She was always a very kind and generous woman. There will be less compassion in the world without her.

I boarded at a horse barn with Mary when she had several mules and a horse- I was so impressed with her and the obvious delight she took with her animals- she took great care of them and dressed them up for holidays like St Patrick´s Day and the 4th of July!

Mary was always incredibly kind to me and so open to sharing her knowledge with me at Southwind Farm. A wonderful woman who will be missed.

Mary´s friendship was a powerful thread throughout my life. I struggle to articulate all that I wish to express. I loved our comfortable shared times together over 35 years. Mary had a sharp, witty sense of humor. She made me laugh. Mary could always be counted on for good conversation. And, we had conversations that wove in and out throughout the years. She was my hiking buddy, always with our dogs. She was generous, and fiercely protective of those she loved. She was beautiful, and insightful, and brilliant. I am sharing this photo because it was us, happy to be together for the moment, not too long ago

Fearless indeed

All of us at King Chiropractic want to wish the family peace in this difficult time.
We feel so honored to have shared just a small part of the wonderful journey that was Mary´s life.
Thank you for keeping us up to date and Mary we miss you already but are certain you are in peace.

Dear sweetest Ms. Mary. I encountered you only days before you went home, yet the impression you left will be lasting. In our short time, your spirit shone with a quiet light—gentle, kind, and sincere. Some souls need no time at all to touch others; they simply arrive, and their presence lingers. That is what provided me. I will carry the grace of our short encounter with me, so grateful for even a fleeting connection, and may those who knew you longer be comforted by the love you left behind.

This is very sad news, but at the same time uplifting, thanks to your describing her passing as free of fear. I hope I can have the wisdom to follow her in this way, as in so many ways she showed to be kind and thoughtful and brave.

So many years separated us. Our little fishing adventure you planned for your dad will always be a great memory. You will be missed.

I will always cherish the time we spent together all those years ago. I'm so grateful for the moments we shared and for the way we stayed in touch, with you visiting me and me visiting you. Your absence will be deeply felt. I´m truly sorry for everything you endured over the years. Please know that you are in my thoughts, now and always.

Dear Mary- you've shown us all what strength and dignity looks like. Thank you for teaching me about trees and mules. I love you and miss you, but we'll persevere. Lesson learned.
