Mary Tillapaugh Obituary

Mary M. Tillapaugh beloved mother, grandmother, great-grandmother and sister entered heaven on October 20, 2025. Mary was born in North Dakota on November 23, 1940 and spent most of her adult life in Colorado. She raised her three children in the Lakewood area. Mary stayed at home to raise her children before embarking on her career as a realtor, working for Century 21 and Remax. Mary's true joy came from cooking for her family and leading women's bible studies. Mary is survived by her children, Tami (Michael) Boillot, Tari (Alan) Granruth, Todd (Karla) Tillapaugh; eight grandchildren; fourteen great-grandchildren; brother Bob Baier. Mary's foundation was her faith and a strong bond to family. She will be deeply missed.
