Mary Edwina Gillette

Mary was born on February 13, 1934, in Greeley. She married the love of her life, Ralph R. Gillette, on June 30, 1956, beginning a lifelong partnership built on family, faith, and devotion.

Her faith was the foundation of who she was. Mary deeply loved her life, her children, and her grandchildren, but most of all, she loved the Lord. Her faith was lived out daily and simply, often calling out throughout the day, “Help me Jesus,” a reflection of the close and personal relationship she carried with her Savior.

She will be remembered for her love, her strong spirit, and the warmth she shared with family and everyone she met. Her presence was a constant source of comfort and guidance, and her memory will continue to live on in those who knew and loved her.

Mary is survived by her children and spouses: Bonnie Lang (Chris), Tim Gillette (Donna), Alan Gillette (Sandy), and Yolanda “Yoly” Gillette. She is also survived by her cherished grandchildren: Cody Kerstiens, Clay Kerstiens, Devin Gillette, Alleigh Kottke, Zachary Gillette, Mikayla Gillette, and Dominick Gamba, their significant others and 13 great grandchildren! Beyond her blood family, Mary also leaves behind countless others whom she lovingly accepted as family through her open heart, unwavering kindness, and natural gift for making everyone feel loved and welcome.

Mary will be deeply missed and forever remembered.
