I have often said that Aunt Mary is/was one of the nicest people I know. Always kind, always smiling, and always a joy to be around. As a young child, I used to help prepare Thanksgiving dinner with Aunt Mary and other aunts at my grandmother's house in Palisade. Aunt Mary's laugh was so calming as was her soft voice as she taught me how to tear apart the toasted bread for the stuffing. Such fond, fond memories of a wonderful lady. Rest in Peace, Aunt Mary. I miss being able to see you again.

Aunt Mary is very loved and will be missed by many, including me. I have always been thankful to have Mary in my life! She was an amazing person. She always had a smile on her face, and was always thoughtful and kind to me! I was grateful to be at her 91st birthday on August 8, 2023! What a celebration for her! I will remember that day and many more!! I will truly miss her smile and laugh, her text messages to me, and her kindness to me, which extended to my family. love to the family, and her patience & perseverance! love to her family♥️
