What a beautiful “history” of a sweet lady! I got to know Mary really well the past 6-7 years and I think I am a better person for it. She loved life ; had a good time / worked so hard. Love the pigtails . . . she told me about those a lot. Took awhile but she finally got me to saying north, south, east or west instead of ‘right’ or ‘left . . . She was a country girl and knew everything about this town. I will miss her immensely but I am happy for her to be at peace and with other family members in Heaven. Beautiful person.
We extend our Deepest Condolences to all the Family. All my treasured and endearing memories of Mary are locked in my heart! It was an honor to have Mary in my life! Rest in Peace my Dear Friend.
