Mary was a special person, being a Superintendents Secretary wasn't easy. She was very thoughtful, listened and gracious. I often go by the house and wonder how she was doing. Now she can do more for the Lord and be at peace. Patty Fedinetz

My deepest condolences. Mary was a fellow classmate at EHHS and one of the nicest young ladies. I am fortunate to have seen and spend some time with her at our 65th class reunion.
