My dear friend Mary, I'm going to miss you so much. We spent so many wonderful years together, having so much laughter and jokes. You've left a big hole behind for me to fill because you are one of a kind. I look for you in heaven.

Mary was my sister-in-law. She was always so joyful and positive, through good times and bad. Mary was such a fun person, and I especially remember going 4-wheeling and blueberry picking near their cabin in Florence. I ate more blueberries than ended up in my bucket and Mary just laughed and laughed with me. She is greatly missed. --Lois Sewell

I’ve had the pleasure of doing Mary’s hair for the past ten years. We all absolutely adored her at the salon and will miss her dearly. She loved huge, so proud of her kids and gleamed while talking about her grandkids and their children and her best friend and husband, Brian. Wishing you all peace as you mourn the loss of a wonderful woman. Xx
