I never knew Mary's last name but I first met her when she was working at the Dairy Queen in the summer. She was a great ambassador, always making sure the tables were cleaned, everyone had what they needed and always offering to bring the ice cream sundae when you were done with your meal. I also heard many times about her wonderful baking at DWU. Her smile and kindness to others will be missed. My sympathy to her family.

To Mary's close friends and Family,,,,May every sunrise hold more promise, every moon rise hold more peace. They say love beyond the world cannot be separated by it. Death cannot kill what never dies.
I know for certain that we never lose the people we love, even to death. They continue to participate in every act, thought and decision we make. Their love leaves an indelible imprint in our memories.
We find comfort in knowing that our lives have been enriched by having shared their love. Wishing you peace to bring comfort, courage to face the days ahead and loving memories to forever hold in your hearts.
May you be comforted by the outpouring of love surrounding you.
My thoughts and prayers are with you and your family during this very difficult time. ✝️
