Mary seemed to embody what it truly meant to be a mother, grandmother, wife and friend. Her beauty always radiated from within and just being near her you knew you were in the presence of someone very special. Our sincerest condolences to the entire family.
Mary was our best friend and neighbor for about 60 years. She would always lend a helping hand to those who needed it. Will miss her.

To Mary’s Family,
Very sorry for your loss. I would sit behind Mary in Church, and she would always greet everyone with a lovely smile. Will surely miss her. Just cherish the wonderful memories you have of her. Sincerely,
We all have been blessed with Mary in our lives. Just like her son-in-law said, “She was named Mary for a reason, just like Jesus’s mom.” Rest in peace, Mary. No more pain. God bless her beautiful family.
Wes and I are so sorry for your family’s loss. I know your mom will be missed here on earth but I am sure God has great plans for her in heaven. Not to mention she finally gets to be rejoined with her husband. Sorry we can’t make it to the service please don’t hesitate to call on us for anything.
What an amazing woman your Mom was. I wish I could be there to share stories and celebrate her life with all of you. Know that you are all in my thoughts and prayers. It is such an understatement to say that she will be missed.
