Mary Elizabeth Hamilton Hardie, 101, loving mother, grandmother, aunt and great aunt entered into rest on Sept. 26, 2014, in Paso Robles, CA at home.

In 1943 the family moved to Southern California. Bob, Mary and their children lived in the Hollywood Hills until they moved to the San Fernando Valley in December 1948. In 1997 Mary moved with her daughter to Paso Robles where she enjoyed entertaining her many friends from So.

She loved the garden, especially her roses & orchids, and her cats. Mary is survived by her sons Robert and John, daughter Betsy, grandchildren Spencer & Morgan and many wonderful nieces and nephews.

She was an exceptional person. She was bright, kind, loving and had a wonderful sense of humor (unless when playing cards she lost to her brother Tucker). She will be deeply missed by all who had the pleasure of knowing her.
