Mary was a devoted daughter, wife, and mother that cared very deeply for her family.  She assisted with taking care of her parents when their health began to fade and was always by their side.  Mary was very hardworking and worked for many years at Witco Chemical as an executive secretary.  She was small in stature but very feisty.  Mary maintained an active role in all of her children’s school activities and supported Bob’s lodge by preparing meals throughout the years.  She loved gardening, plants, and cooking for family get-togethers.  Mary fought a courageous battle with cancer and showed everyone her great strength, determination and compassion.  She will be greatly missed by all who knew and loved her.
