Mary lived a wonderful 85 years. She grew up in a loving family. Her family was small, but very close. Every Thanksgiving was really their family reunion. She met the love of her life, Allen Anderson, her husband of 63 years in a bowling alley. They bowled in tournaments and leagues for many years. Mary was a loving mother to her to two sons Tony Willis and Brian Anderson whom she enjoyed spending time watching football and movies. She watched many sports passionately. Tony and Brian would talk on the phone with their Mom for hours while watching Tiger Woods play golf, Venus and Serena play tennis, the “Black Widow” Jeannette Lee shoot pool, and the Indiana Pacers play basketball. Mary and Al were members of Kokomo’s Kings and Queens Travel Club. Travel was another passion of Mary and Al’s. Their favorite traveling partners were her sister JoAnn and her husband Clifford who knew Al long before Mary and Al ever met. The couples traveled everywhere together vacationing all over the United States especially Hawaii and then onto Europe, Africa, South America, and the Caribbean. One of the their highlights was dinner and a show at the Moulin Rouge in Paris. Their most memorable vacation was a two week cruise aboard the Princess cruise line ship which happened to be the Love Boat from the TV series.
