Mary and I met in Junior High School. Throughout high school we shared music, laughter and a life changing trip to Europe with People to People.  I loved Mary's presence.  I am sorry to have lost touch with her.  I went back for our 40th and our 50th reunion from NCHS hoping to see her there.  She was talented, beautiful and one of my favorite people.  Condolences  to Jim, Billie, and Dale.

Sincerely,

Karen L. Hirst

My deepest sympathy to Jim, Billie, Dale and Family.  I was so fond of Mary. I have wonderful memories of the time I got to spend with her. She was a unique and special friend...so talented, funny, beautiful, sensitive and loving. She will always be loved.

I met Mary at Oakdale Grade school in 4 th grade  and knew her thru high school. We used to go to her house for lunch sometimes  and often walked to grade school together.  She was an awesome pianist playing for contest choir and plays which I understand readied her for playing in NYC. Wish I could have heard her then, Norma 

We didn't run in the same circles in High School most of the time but I can remember how she could light up a room just by walking into it. 
She will be missed.

Hello and my deepest sympathies for your loss of Mary.  I went to school with her from Jr. High through High School.  She was a phenomenal piano player!  She was an accompianist for our Chorus and she and another classmate, Shirley Semonchik performed a dueling piano piece in Jr. High that was Amazing!  We had hoped to see her at our 50th Class Reunion last year but she couldn't make it.  We are all so very sorry to hear of her passing.  I've tried to find her obituary to pass onto our classmates as we were just wondering what might have happened to her and are there any memorials in her name?  Our deepest sympathy to all of you who loved her...the NCHS Class of 1969.
