Mary Kathleen Badgley

It is with deep sadness that we announce the passing of Mary Badgley, who left this world on August 31, 2025, at the age of 64. She was born on October 9, 1960, in Danville, IL to parents, Ralph and Mary (King) Berry. She married her beloved husband, Phil Badgley, in McHenry, IL on April 4, 2003. They cherished 22 wonderful years together.
Mary dedicated over 40 years of her professional life as an underwriter in the insurance industry, where her skilled expertise and dedication earned her the respect of her colleagues. Mary was a multi-talented individual who thrived in her passions. She found joy in cooking for her friends and family and gardening. She loved her flowers, especially lilacs. Her gift as a seamstress reflected her love for creating and caring with her hands.
As a proud wife to Phil, Mary embraced her blended family with love and dedication, and her warmth and nurturing spirit made her a steadfast supporter of those she held dear. She was a spirited fan of the Chicago Cubs and took great delight in watching sports, particularly her favored University of Illinois college basketball team.
Mary's presence would light up any room, and her busy nature kept her actively engaged in her community and family life. She leaves behind a legacy of love that will be remembered by all who had the pleasure of knowing her.
