Mary was my mother's next door neighbor and one of her closest friends for many years. She was always a great source of comfort and good humor and was a ray of sunshine to all who were part of her life. My condolences to her family and friends - she will be missed by all.

I have known Mary for several years as a member of the Ranchlands Seniors group. She would brighten the room with her smile and she was always a pleasure to be around. She loved to attend our weekly gathering, socialize with the other members and made new members feel welcome. She would participate in all the special activities, sometimes wearing her party hat. I am so glad we had such a good turn out for her 90th birthday. What a lovely afternoon and so many of our members got to wish her all the very best! She was small in stature, but huge in personality! "Little Mary" you will be missed. It is because of love that we grieve and because of love that we are comforted in our sorrow. With heartfelt sympathy to her family.

On behalf of myself and all the members of the New Horizons ( Ranchlands Seniors' ) group, I extend to all Mary's family and friends our deepest condolences. News of her passing has been most unexpected as many of us saw her May 24 at her 90th birthday celebration, and now we treasure this memory more than ever. She had such life in her, as the sparkle on her face in the photo the family chose for the obituary shows. We are glad her last illness was apparently short and wish the family peace and wonderful memories. Our group will miss her tremendously.
