My sincere sympathy to close family & friends. I will always remember Mary as a kind, soft-spoken lady with a nice smile. She was a dear friend to Shirlie Ames & Grandmother to Steph & Feryl's children, who are my nephew & nieces. I remember her attending the 4th of July parties and having a few laughs together. She'll be dearly remembered.

Fawn will remember this. One Christmas Fawn bought Mary blocks that spelled out Noel. Mary looked at the blocks, lined them up on the shelf and said, "These are really cute, but who is leon?" We all started to laugh and Fawn said, "no, you have them backwards" and then even Mary laughed. Fawn said later, " I almost glued them together haha!!"
