Mary E. Smith

      She was born February 3, 1943, in Madelia, MN, and lived a life filled with warmth, laughter, and love. Mary retired from Hoffman Engineering, where she worked for many years as a dedicated office administrator. Outside of work, she cherished the simple joys in life - bowling, fishing, trips up north, crocheting, and adult coloring. She had a special love for butterflies and birds, often finding peace and beauty in their presence. But above all, her heart belonged to her family. In fact, you knew you became part of her "family" when she made you tacos and enchiladas. Apart from being a devoted mother, her grandchildren and great-grandchildren were her pride and joy, and she adored every moment spent with them.

      Mary was preceded in death by her parents and sister. Mary is survived by one brother, two children, three grandchildren, and five great-grandchildren.

      A celebration of life will be held June 26, 2025, visitation starting at 11:00 a.m. and service starting at noon, at Living Word Christian Center in Brooklyn Park. All who knew and loved her are welcome to attend the memorial service and share memories.
