Mary and I worked together until she retired. We kept in touch and spoke on the phone recently. Mary had love and compassion for all who were fortunate enough to know her. It’s rare in life to meet a soul as genuine and kind as her. I pray the Angels wrap their loving wings around her family and comfort them during this deeply sad time of great loss. Although I am saddened to lose such a wonderful person in my life, I know that she is at peace with her loving husband in Heaven now. Remember her smile, her laughter, her beautiful spirit, and most of all her Love. ❤️

My condolence to the family, I knew Mary through her love of horses. We were riding one day and she got nervous, I told her to sing anything. She started singing and it helped her relax. She said she’d teach her grandkids the same trick. God bless you Mary, until we meet again, ride on!
