Mary "Sam" Peterson
Mary A Peterson was born on March 6, 1945 in Colville, Washington to Fredrick and Margaret Carroll. Mary was the oldest five girls.
Mary graduated from Marcus in 1962. On April 24, 1968, Mary and Henry (Dick) Peterson were married. Mary and Dick had two children. Their daughter, Heidi, was born in 1969. And their son, Rich, was born in 1970. Dick passed away in 1972.
Mary was a wonderful mom and Grandma. She was fiercely protective and loved her family with all of her heart. She was a talented baker, a skillful gardener, and an accomplished seamstress. She made all of the western shirts in her children's weddings.
Mary is survived by her daughter, Heidi Keenan (Shawn), her son, Rich (Kimberly), her grandchildren Stefanie Schneider (Russel), Chantel Christiensen (Dustin), Kourtney Marchand (Francis), Taylor Peterson (Samantha), Kyle Keenan (Bree), Hunter Maddox, and Colten Maddox (Gillian).
