I knew Mary as a Scott County Extension Master Gardener; she volunteered on different projects and was always interested in how the gardens were doing. She was a very kind person.

I didn´t know Mary well but saw her a number of times at Master Gardeners and my church. She seemed to be a giving person. My condolences to you. Jane Broughton.
