Rest in Peace Mary. We were so blessed when we bought our house next door to you guys 26 years ago.. God must have pointed us here, because he knew you would be great neighbors. Many memories when the kids were little, having an occasional wine together. Life is so short and precious. We love and will miss you. God Bless You. 🙏❤

I worked with Mary at Badger Road for quite a few years. We had a lot of good laughs. Together, we were the best ledgerkeepers in Dane County! Tee hee. We are so glad you made it to our last DOC TITS (Tell It Tuesdays) night in January. it was so good to see you. We will certainly miss you, and you will never be forgotten. RIP, Sweet Mary.

I worked with Mary at the Odana Rd. office from the time she transferred in until she retired. She was such a great person to talk to and work with. She was both friend and mom (since same age as mine). She loved her husband, children and grandchildren SO much! She always had cute stories to share. I am heartbroken she is no longer with us. But know her memory will remain with all of us who knew her. All my love to the family.

I worked with Mary at badger Road also. She was such an amazing person. She always smiled and never had a bad word to say. She taught me so much and I’m going to miss her. I have thought about her often and always appreciated our Facebook contact and “Likes”. You’ll be dearly missed my friend. RIP Mary

John, Corie & Kristy - our deepest sympathy in the passing of Mary. Greg, Max, Kinga, Hawkin and myself are forever grateful for the memories our kids made with you and your 2 girls on Monticello Way. I’m glad you got to experience the joy of being a Grandma. The days ahead will surely be difficult for all of you and let’s trust God to heal a deep soul wound. 🌹
