I knew Mary as Nursing Coordinator. She was the rock that had our backs, knew how to handle all situations, perform all nursing procedures,  all with competence, humor, and a no nonsense manner.    She was a wonderful mentor and made us better nurses. She will continue to influence the care of so many patients and families through the many nurses that she inspired. 

I worked with Mary for many years and was honored to do so.  Her knowledge and experience was a tremendous resource, and she was a great sounding-board when another opinion or idea was needed.  First as a co-worker, and then as a friend, I enjoyed her sense of humor- we often  shared a silly joke or snarky comment to break tension in almost overwhelming circumstances.  Thankyou for your years of service to the community, now it's your turn to rest. My heart, thoughts and prayers go out to your family and loved ones in their time of sorrow. May God grant them peace.

So sorry for the families loss. She was a great nurse and friend.   Appreciated her knowledge. You will be missed.  

Mary Kyger exemplified old-school nursing through her dedication, work ethic, and compassion. Even when in physical pain, she gave her all to the task at hand without complaint. She was a joy to work with. I will never forget her. May she Rest In Peace. My condolences to her family. 

What a lovely human being Mary was—she was always a calm and steady force and wealth of knowledge within the nursing staff at RMH—I worked there for many years—she was a Nurse Coordinator when I knew her—she was a no nonsense, down-to-earth comrade to all of the nurses—she was competent and kind—wonderful to patients—just knowing she was there made my shifts lighter.  Funny, honest, tough, compassionate—how she will be missed by many—I am praying for her daughter, brother, grandchildren—her whole family—we know she is looking over you as she did while here—that was her way—may you feel God’s peace knowing she is in His presence.

Susan and family,
I started at RMH in my early 20's and Mary was one of the first true mentors I had though she worked in a different department.  I interacted with her and the other ER nurses for years, and when she and certain others were on duty, you knew it would be smooth sailing no matter what came through the ambulance bay or those sliding doors. She ran a tight ship and earned everyone's respect.  She set the standard and helped maintain the community hospital vision. 
I'm so sorry. God's peace and strength to you during this time. 

Dearest Mary,  I came to the Emergency Room as a young nurse, you showed me the way so many times, I will always remember you as a great nurse and amazing person. I know you made a difference in so many lives, my you rest in peace. My condolences to your daughter and grandchildren,  I know they meant so much to you. I still have the note you gave me , I will always cherish your thoughts. 

Wonderful memories will be held close to my heart of visits with WG and Mary at local gun shops with jokes being told! Then to working side by side over the years with Mary at the hospital!  Both wonderful people and will be missed greatly! Continued hugs and prayers for all of you ❤️
