I met Mary at the nursing home when my husband Tom was also a resident there. He passed in 2017, but I have continued to visit my many resident friends. Mary was always a joy to talk to. I learned lots about flowers from her. We both loved the "Coconut Cookies" which I made for her at times. In 2018, Mary asked if I would help her with a task, and I was more than happy too. I brought my computer down and she dictated her obituary which I edited and printed for her. She was a special person, I am fortunate to have known her.

Joe and Pam ~ my sympathy on the passing of your mom. I was able to spend time with Mary talking about her dolls over the years, which she was very fond of. I always enjoyed our visits. She was a sweet lady and brought much to the Lodi community with her many years of teaching. Vicki Kutz
