Our deepest sympathy to GE and family at the loss of Mary. 
I have so many fond memories of my cousin it's hard to choose one as my favorite. I do remember seeing her graduation and wedding pictures hanging in her Mom's dining room and thinking- "wow, she's the most beautiful woman I've ever seen";  I haven't changed my mind in all these years. 
It was such a joy to sit down to eat any meal ML prepared; she was a fabulous cook. She was also a gifted gardener. I'll always remember her dedication to remembering birthdays, holidays and special events throughout the year and making sure an enchanting card was sent to mark the occasion. 
Rest well dear cuz...
John and Mary-Margaret

Mary had a way of making others feel at ease with her big smile and quick sense of humor . She loved talking about her grandchildren , and sitting at the kitchen table by the window watching her neighbors walk their dogs around the pond each morning . But most of all she loved talking about George and their life together . I was her hospice nurse for many months and I enjoyed getting to know Mary on a personal level . She was a wonderful lady and she will be greatly missed . Prayers for George and the family . I’ll see you again on the other side my friend 🙏🏻

Mary was always a delight to be around.  She was a wonderful asset to every aspect of our community.  She will be greatly missed by all who were fortunate enough to know her.  



Gennie and I are sad to here the loss of Mary.  I have enjoyed many talks with here and her love for nature. She often during our talks would mention the beautiful flowers around her home and the beautiful yellow golden finches. She told us she loved George's Sunday breakfast and his tomato sandwhiches. She really enjoyed her cup of coffee too. Mary will be truly missed by her Gennie and I and her neighbors and family. We give our sincere condolences. 

My first contact with Mary was back in 2009. She was walking through the neighborhood and she stopped me and ask me who I was and where I lived. For many years thereafter I would see Mary taking that same walk early in the day. We always had a pleasant conversation, even when we were discussing George, a fellow golfer.
I am saddened by George's and family's  loss. My warmest blessing go out to him and the family.
