Mary Squyer

Mary Margaret Squyer peacefully passed away on April 3, 2020 at the St. Croix Health Center in New Richmond, Wisconsin. Mary was born on May 30, 1944 to Frederick and Sue (Barnet) Squyer in Richfield, Minnesota. Mary grew up in New Richmond with her sister Elizabeth and brother Paul. She attended school in New Richmond to which she also graduated from. After school, Mary moved to Somerset and soon welcomed her sons Aaron and Christopher Kizer. She raised two boys in Somerset and worked several years at Ben’s Bar and The Terrace. Mary moved to Little Canada, Minnesota and took a job in Economic Support at the St. Croix Health Center, where she excelled in her career for 31 years. Mary then moved back to New Richmond to reside closer to her family and grandchildren. Mary retired in 2010. She loved her job and dedicated her professional skills to many in the community.

Mary loved the simple things in life. Family gatherings, especially holidays, Christmas being her favorite. She had put her passion into decorating her home and entertaining many who wanted to sit awhile and visit. She tried to spread out Christmas until February as she never wanted to take down her beautiful tree. She left her door open to all who came to say hi, have a drink and splendor in life. Mary also loved to make dart league a special night and made Wednesday nights her favorite night of the week. Mary also was especially fond of spending time with her grandchildren, as they were the joy to her heart.

Mary was preceded in death by her parents, Frederick and Sue Squyer, and Kay Kizer. Mary is survived by her two sons, Aaron Kizer and Christopher Kizer (Angie); her sister, Elizabeth (Acersa); brother, Paul Squyer; grandchildren, Samantha (Kizer) Beauvais (Brian), Joshua Kizer, Mya Kizer, along with Fizz (Greg) Kizer, Tom (TK) Kizer, and Gail Kizer.

Mary will be dearly missed by many who knew her and by those whose lives she touched. At this time a memorial has not been scheduled.
