Mary was a well loved mother, grandmother and great grandmother. She had a wonderful sense of humor, which came through in her creativity and spirit. She was well known for her outgoing personality. She always had a smile and a hug for everyone who crossed her path. She will be remembered not only by her family and friends but also by the many school children that she touched. They will especially remember her gingerbread cookies that she baked. We are thankful for the almost 90 years she lived. Mary lived life to the fullest.
