Born on May 27, 1958, Mary grew up in Raytown, Missouri, and graduated from Raytown South High School in 1976. She built a life defined by perseverance, resilience, and a quiet inner strength. She faced life’s challenges in her own way and carried more than most ever saw.
She spent more than 30 years working for Western Extralite in Kansas City, Missouri. Known for her reliability and strong work ethic, Mary took pride in her work and in the consistency she brought to her role throughout her long career.
Mary was a mother, sister, and grandmother. She expressed herself in understated ways, and her life reflected endurance, independence, and determination.
She is survived by her siblings, Bill Jones, Ken Jones, and Virginia Dumlao; her children, Robert Dale, Tracy Dale, Meladie Dale, and Jackson Dale; and her grandchildren and great-grandchildren.
A Celebration of Life will be held Friday, February 27, 2026, from 4:00 to 8:00 p.m. at 21906 SW Woods Chapel Road, Blue Springs, Missouri.
