Mary was my very first boss at Datex-Ohmeda in 1981. I have never forgotten her and the impact she made on my life. I would not be where I am w/o her! I have thanked her silently many times over the years. Mary and Dusty were truly wonderful people. Lisa Paap

Mary was the longest member of Memorial United Church of Christ in Fitchburg. She was a lovely women and she was always smiling. When I returned to. Memorial after a 26 year hiatus, Mary welcomed me back with a big hug. I, and I’m sure many others, will miss her.
