To all of Mary's children,grandchildren, family friends. You have been blessed to have a wonderful mother. I know she is now at peace, and you should be too, She was so lovingly proud of each of you. She will forever smile onto you, until you meet again.
Some of my best teenage memories are of spending time at her home, that was open to everyone.
I didn't know until this moment that she has passed. I smile when I think of the fondly memories.

Steve and family. My deepest sympathy to you. Your mother was such a wonderful person and a great mother-in-law. No matter what came her way she was always positive. I remember all those delicious sunday dinners and stories at her home. I still use her famous carrot cake receipe and sauce that she handed down to me. May all your fond memories of her guide you through this time and remember that she will always be with you.

Very sorry to hear of the passing of your mom. May she rest in peace. I remember the many stories you had told over the years about the VanZandt Family get togethers. I still laugh about the time she put all her groceries in the trunk of someone elses car and got in and realized she was not in the right car. She will be missed by all her knew hew.

To the VanZandt family,
What a wonderful woman Mary was, she was such a fun loving person to be around. I didnt get to see her too often but when I did I would have to go right over to her and catch some of that positive energy she radiated. We shared a birthday and that made me feel a little special to share a day with such a wonderful person. She was a guaranteed smile. She will be missed by all who knew her.

To the VanZant family, everytime I saw Mary I knew I was going to have an instant smile, she would make me laugh just telling one of her many stories. She had the same birthday as me, August 13th, which Bernice, I know you would remember, kind of made me feel even a little more special to share that day with someone as wonderful as Mary. I will miss her very much, I didnt get to see her that often, but when she was in a room I had to go right over to her and sit next to her just to catch some of that good that she generated. To all of you, what a special person Mary was. My prayers are with all of you.
