Publish in a newspaper
Mary graduated from John Glenn High School in Westland in 1983, where she laid the foundation for a life rich in learning and achievement. She went on to earn a Bachelor's Degree from the University of Michigan in Dearborn, and used her education to serve the community as a Manager for the State of Michigan DTMB. Her dedication to her work was matched only by her commitment to her family and friends, which she treasured above all else.
An avid traveler, Mary had a passion for exploring the world, with cruising as one of her favorite pastimes. However, it was the relationships she fostered throughout her life that truly brought her joy and fulfillment. Her kindness, generosity, and warmth will be missed by all who knew her.
Mary is survived by her beloved brother, Mark Ladd, who will carry forward her memory and spirit; niece, Mirjam Ladd; nephew, Noel Ladd; goddaughters, Emily (Jake) Epling and Maria Buchholz, along with her lifelong friend, Kathy Buchholz. Mary was preceded in death by her sister-in-law, Susanne Ladd.
