Mary was a wonderful person, always smiling. We were always glad when we got to see her. She and her husband were good friends of my parents, Ed and Ellie Haas. So sorry to hear she is gone. Our blessing to her family.

Mary was a wonderful neighbor during my time living in Emmaus. She had a great kind of welcoming nature and refreshing soul. I am sure she is enjoying the reconnection of so many that had left us prior in her lifetime including, her son, and our wonderful neighbor, Sarah. Rest easy, Mary. Love, Jessica, Christian and the rest of our family.
