Mary Louise Walters (Adriano), 77, went to be with the Lord on June 24, 2025 at Providence hospital. She was born on July 18, 1947 in Kansas City, KS, the daughter of Vera Adriano. Mary graduated from Wyandotte High School, Class of 1965. Following graduation she married her high school sweetheart Roger Walters. They celebrated 58 years of marriage in August. Mary had deep passion for music and dancing. Her joy was contagious and she lit up every room with her smile. Above all, she was a woman of unshakable faith, a strong believer in the Lord whose life reflected grace, resilience and love. She loved her family dearly and found immense joy in being a grandmother and cherishing every moment spent with her grandchildren.
She was predeceased by her mother Vera Adriano; brother, Frank Adriano; sister, Kathleen Mills and sister Anita McCabe.
She is survived by her loving husband of 58 years, Roger Walters; her two sons Anthony Walters (Teresa) and Jeff Walters; and daughter Stephanie Lowe (Darren). She was a proud grandmother to Brittni Walters, Brooklyn Walters, Mia Walters, Aspen Walters, Bentley Walters, Ta'Lisa Westbrook, Devin Lowe, Joy Lowe and Chase Lowe. She was a beloved sister of Angie Herman, Ruben Adriano (Sandy), Joseph Adriano (Angie), Lillie Morales, Richard Adriano, Charlie Adriano (Karin), Terry Carrillo (Daniel).
A visitation will be held at Highland Park Funeral Home on Wednesday, July 2nd, 2025, from 1:00pm-2:00pm with a service to follow. Burial will take place at Highland Park Cemetery.

Mary and Roger lived next door to us for a number of years. Mary and I had a wonderful time together with our children. We would sit on our hill above their house and eat fruit together and talk about things of interest to us. Mostly we talked about our belief in God and how we had been blessed while watching our children playing. It was a great time in our lives. She will truly be missed. Memory Eternal!

I remember being a kid waiting for her to finish her homemade tortillas. Her boys, Tony and Jeff, and I would take the freshly made tortillas and eat them with butter or bologna. Good times! My condolences to the family. Memory eternal.

This was the 2018 Ethnic Festival. Unfortunately, Mary wasn't in the pic. She lead our team to do an amazing job that year. May IDF in KC continue in her honor.

Mary always had this light in her eyes... you could tell she loved the Lord. She was a prayer warrior through and through. Even though my heart mourns at her passing, I take joy in knowing that Mary is now dancing in front of the heavenly throne. May her memory always be a blessing.
