We are so sorry to hear of Mary´s passing. I worked with Mary at Mercersburg Elementary. She was very sweet and spunky and was always quick to add humor to any situation! She always had a friendly greeting for me when I would see her at Modnur. Prayers for all of you during this difficult time. Rick and Susie Brown
