Although it's been 35/40 years since I last saw your mom, I remember her as our Girl Scout 'leader', she taught me how to make popcorn balls. I send the prayers of my family to yours. May your mom rest in peace.

Mary Beth - Your Mom was always a bright spot in my day when she came to pick up Hannah. She was a strong woman with a witty sense of humor! I know she will be missed.

Mary was a very special lady. She would always light up the salon when she came in. I'm very blessed to have had Mary in my life. I will miss her laughter, her smile and her fiestyness. God be with you.

What a special, special lady!! Mary was our son's 3rd grade teacher at St. Catherine's but she remained interested in Tony and what he was doing for years and years. We would often run into her at mass or Stater Bros and she would always ask about him. She always said Tony was one of her favorites but I'm sure she said that to all the parents! She was genuinely interested in and caring of all her students. We have such fond memories of her. Prayers and blessings to all her family.

Your mom was a very special lady. I enjoyed her company and looked forward to events at my aunt and uncle's house because she and your dad were usually there. I know you will have wonderful memories of your years with her.

So sorry to hear of Mary's passing. Good friend of our family for many years. One of the few who understood our love of sports.

I remember her all so well...she had a laugh that was memorable. I was friends with all her daughters growing up! She was a special lady and will be missed! I always ran into her when I worked at Trader Joe's and she always remembered me!!! May Gods loving arms be with the family at this time.

Mary had a wonderful zest for life. She was a great colleague and teacher. Long after teaching our kids she would take the time to find out how they were doing. Everyone loved the "Cheesehead" but that was just one part of this neat Lady...Mary, you will truly be missed.

What a gal she was! Our heartfelt sympathy to her family and close friends. You couldn't forget her if you wanted to. She was a hard working much loved, respected, and great teacher. She made the world a lot more fun and memorable. Very sorry for the loss as she will be so missed.
It was a joy to know her and we are very grateful she was our kids 3rd grade teacher. They loved her for sharing her life stories growing up in Wisconsin. She wore a cheesehead to school when the Packers were playing! Lord knows they have many other things to remember about her.
Our loss but Heaven's gain. You know they are glad to have her.

My sincere sympathy and condolences to the family of Mary Wadding. I knew her as "Miss Mary" my kindergarten teacher in 1959 at Highland Elementary School in Riverside. She will remain as one of my favorite teachers. I'm sure she will be missed by all who knew her.
