There wasn´t any human on this earth who had a voice like dear Mary did. My mom; Nancy Larner and her were SMNS graduates and life long friends. I always, always loved when Mary called our house. RIP sweet woman! You were a luv!

I was born and raised in Canajoharie and knew the Montanye family all of my life. Such wonderful fond memories come to me at this time. Her brother Jack was a classmate of mine throughout grade and high school. Being from a small town, our families were very close and our doors were always open to each. Eventually we all went our separate ways, so this is a sad moment. I live in Fort Lauderdale, Florida and have for the last 62 years. So, I can only offer especially Mary's son, the McGuire and the Montanye families my sincerest heartfelt condolences. May Mary rest in love and peace. Tom Curnin

Hi Rich, I'm sorry to read about Mary. She was always so nice . I used to take my niece and nephew in their wagon pass her house and they would always make me stop, ring the doorbell and ask Mary for a chocolate chip cookie. She had them spoiled. Take care, Your friend Leo Rivers
