Mary, first cousin of my mom, was always smiling and fun and laughing. She and her husband raised 3 girls I remember growing up with and having fun times together. Swimming at nearby lakes, walking up town with Aunt Eileen and going for ice cream cones. Mary enjoyed collecting Antique glassware and different perennials.

Dorothy and I knew Mary a long time ago; we met through our shared interest in glass. Dorothy is no longer with me either, maybe they're continuing a friendship renewed.
OUR BIG EXTENDED FAMILY WILL MISS YOU DEARLY MARY. YOUR LOVING SPIRIT IS WITH US ALWAYS!

Very sorry to hear the news. We lived across the street from Mary for 7 years, and she was unfailingly pleasant and kindhearted-- a great neighbor. Our deepest sympathy to her family and friends.

She was a great Girl Scout leader when I was young and inspired me to become a leader in both Girl Scouts and Boy Scouts. My mom enjoyed taking church bus trips with her and will miss her at the early church service and coffee that often follows. May peace come to her and all of her extended family.

Mary was one of the kindest persons I have ever met. She loved to travel with her daughter Sharon as well as with her other daughters Nancy and Sue. So active and so sweet. She will forever be remembered in my heart. God Bless her and her family.

Mary was one of the very first people I met while pursuing glass studies. She was most kind to me when I knew very little about glass and trying to soak up as much as possible in a field which turned out to be more difficult than I first thought. Mary's extensive knowledge on the subject was very helpful

Mary sat in front of me at the early Mass on Sundays at SJE and we got to know each other better at Community Sundays each month when she told me about her family. I missed her when she stopped attending the early Mass.
