Her being an inspiration for my buying a 1939 Harley flathead back in the 1970's. I was being shut down all over the place and told what a stupid idea that was for a 17 year old girl; then read an article about Mary and felt ashamed that I had let the opinion of others hold me back. Why did it matter if we were women? Mary has remained a hero and role model for me since then, almost 50 years now. What an amazing woman. Even more than her riding ability, her positivity will shine as a beacon for lifetimes to come. RIP dear sister.

Such an amazing spirit. She never let age stop her from anything. She was an inspiration to so many. Sincere condolences to the McGee family, so very sorry for your loss. May God be with you all.
