Mary Sandstrom

Don & Mary were our oldest and dearest friends in Santa Fe. We left to live elsewhere after Don passed...it was never the same without them.

Carolyn, I'm sorry for your loss. Mary was a wonderful, witty, kind, and loyal friend. Remembering the good times and grateful to have known her. Sending you comfort and peace. - Cyn

Aunt Mary's passions for reading and jigsaw puzzles were only matched by her subtle and incisive sense of humor, all of which made her such an interesting person to be around. She was never short for words, and always ready for a good dose of sarcasm and laughter. She offered me one of the most important and relevant pieces of wisdom many years ago that I have never forgotten and always took to heart: intelligence is a gift, we cannot take credit for it. Mary had no shortage of intelligence, but always kept that humility that is a rare and admirable quality.

Mary and Don were the dearest people! When I worked for Literacy Volunteers of Santa Fe, Mary and Don were volunteer tutors, and their gentle compassionate approach to assisting students was unsurpassed. It´s truly sad to learn of her passing. Our loss is heaven´s gain. RIP, Mary. I treasure my memories of you and Don. My condolences to your family.

I am so sorry to hear this news. Wishing you all peace and comfort.

Mary was always a gracious and kind person. She will be missed, but now she's with Don.

Uncle Bill and Aunt Gail
