God has taken another angel home. Went to school with Mary from Valmead all the way to Hibriten. Would see her often at KFC and she always had a smile on her face or was making me laugh. Truly one of the sweetest people on this earth. I will miss seeing her around and the joy she gave to everyone she came in contact with. I pray God will provide comfort to the family at this time and surround them with love and special memories of the wonderful lady she was.

Mary, you will be missed, thank you for being one of my best friends from Valmead through graduation.  I will truly miss you.  My heart and many prayers goes out to your family.  Love Debra Stucky

I am saddened to know that my friend Mary is gone.  She will be missed.  She was such a sweet person, with a one of a kind personality.  We had so many good times in school.  Like others have said...she always had a smile on her face.  Prayers for the family.

I have fond memories of Mary at HHS she was a good friend and since being out of school I could always walk up and we would catch up on old time. My prayers go out to her family and children she was a great lady and will be truly missed!

Fond memories of the fun and laughs we shared in middle and high school. Even after years without seeing each other, she would pick up right where she left off... always leaving me with a smile. Mary was one of a kind, and will be greatly missed. Ann Canipe, Lenoir NC

I saw Mary the Sunday before her passing and she greeted me with the same happy smile that I have known since high school.  My thoughts and prayers are with everyone who loved her and will miss her.

Mary, I miss you and love you.  My prayers and thoughts are with your family, as they go through life with your wonderful memories and beautiful smile.  When I first met Mary in Electronics class at CCC&TI, it was like we had known each other forever.  Mary called me almost every night and could always find a way to make me laugh, as we talked for hours.  She was a very loving, caring, and generous person.  I was in the work/study program after classes and Mary would go all the way home, cook supper, and ride all the way back to school, with a plate of food, so I would not go hungry.  Mary, you will forever live on in my heart and memories.  I love you.

Henry, Mary and cousins,
You are all in my thoughts and prayers. It is so hard to believe Mary is no longer with us. How wonderful that I was able to spend Tuesday evenings with her at Mom's. She was such a joy to be around. She will be greatly missed. 
Love you all,
Darlene and Rick Clark
