While I never met Mary, I work with her son Michael and based on the many conversations we’ve had about her, I wish I had met her. A parent who is held in such high-esteem by a child, is most certainly a special person. My thoughts and prayers are with the family & friends who’s life she touched. Bob Pold

I am so sad to learn of Evie’s passing. She was such a sweet lady!! I remember her being a fiercely loving mother and grandmother; always in good spirits, and full of fun and thoughtful conversation! She was a sharp dresser and always completed her look with lipstick! Evie was always so kind and welcoming to me. My thoughts go out to the family during this sad and difficult time. May you all find comfort in her transition. May she rest in peace. -Rosemary (Krause) Kelly
