Mary Wagner

I was in awe of Mary´s professional abilities, she was absolutely brilliant, but what I remember most fondly was when I joined Mary and others around the daily lunch table. It was an honor to work with her but a pleasure to sit and comfortably chat and get to know each other, talking about our families, our travels, and the events of the day.

I am so glad that outside of work Mary had the opportunity to explore quilting. Not long after I left SRI I contacted her with a vague idea of a quilt that I wanted to commission, she designed and created a beautiful quilt that exceeded my imagination. I have treasured it and think of her every time I wrap myself up in her beautiful quilt. It is nice to think that she had that creative outlet in addition to her outstanding professional achievements.She had many dimensions to her life with her family, church, and professional career, but I like to think of her exploring fabrics, designs, and colors and losing herself in their beauty.

A truly classy loving lady! She was a great leader in our Center at SRI where she supported the positive growth of every employee.

Gone but not forgotten. I will always remember your kind generous words and loving smile.

Mary was one of the people I most enjoyed working with at SRI. She was kind, considerate and a role model for many.
