Mary was a huge part of my life growing up. She opened her home to us young girls in the neighborhood and let us play with all her old clothes. She really had some incredible dresses and accessories! As we got older she volunteered as a brownie leader and continued to be a part of our lives. As a teenager I was able to babysit for Mary and Cal so they could enjoy some time together in the evenings. As adults, we often invited Mary to join us at family gathering. She enjoyed catching up with each of us and when talking with Mary she always made you feel your opinions were important. She was a wonderful conversationalist and a great friend.
Our family will miss her.

When I was in school, I enjoyed cycling over to visit with Mary and Cal. They were very sociable.
