Mary was a fiercely strong, independent woman and dedicated mother. Being born the oldest of 16 children, she developed those traits early on in her life and they remained with her until her passing. She enjoyed going camping and spending time at the cabin, where she liked to go on boat rides. She also liked to play games, cards, and dice.
Gathering of family and friends will be held on Tuesday, July 29, 2025 from 5pm to 8pm at Gearhart Anoka Funeral Home, 552 East River Rd, Anoka.
