Mary Alice Ries

She was a devoted wife, mother, grandmother, great grandmother and friend. Mary was the cherished matriarch of her family and loved her family and friends above all else. Her smile, grace, class, magnetic personality and love of life brightened any room she entered . . . not to mention her ability to always select the perfect outfit for any occasion! Mary was one-of-a-kind, lived a blessed life and will be fiercely missed by all who were lucky enough to know her.

Preceded in death by her loving husband George, she is survived by children Cathie (Don) Hunsberger, Tom (Julie), Jim, David (Christine); grandchildren Lauren (Doug), Ashley (William), Evan (Brianna), Alec, Courtney (Charlie), Lia (Bob), Abby, Christie, Chad (Ashley), Katie, Jessica, Jeremy, Jake, Riley, Jenny (Kyle), Daniel and great grandchildren Reese, Tatum, Reagan, Owen, Caydence, Kieran, Fiona, Hazel, Lainey, Declan, Oliver, Emmy, Luke, Sloan, Beckham, Evie, soon-to-be-born Baby Ries and her soul sister, Rosie Rippe.
