Mary Mack Obituary
Mary A. Mack, 98, of Burlington died Wednesday, Dec. 18, 2024, at Azria Health Prairie Ridge in Mediapolis.
Born April 18, 1926, in Creston, she was the daughter of John and Alice Shay. On Jan. 19, 1947, in Burlington, she married Paul W. Mack. He preceded her in death on Nov. 10, 2004.
Mary was a lifelong member of Trinity Lutheran Church. She worked as an office manager for Dr. Zeran's office and retired in 1988. At the age of 16, Mary was playing the piano for her church and local radio station and later recorded two albums. In her free time, she enjoyed doing crossword puzzles, embroidery, and playing card games.
What she loved most was reading and going shopping with her daughter and granddaughters on the weekends. Most of all time spent with her family brought her the most joy and happiness.

She was preceded in death by her parents, three brothers, two sisters, two sons: Dennis and Tim Mack, one daughter in-law Theresa Mack and great-grandson Evan Mack.
