I am so sorry to have learned of the passing of beautiful Mary. Mary was my neighbor from WAY back, starting in the early 1980’s. I was so blessed to have gotten to know her and Briana and become friends. We were like family back in those days in that cul-de-sac! As our lives and families both grew, we did less and less together as the years went on, but each year I’d look forward to getting her Christmas letter and photos. I Cherished just still receiving that, and some years I would call and let her know how much I enjoyed it, and how amazing I felt she and her family was! I cannot help regretting not actually getting together, though. Heart -broken over this, because she really was someone very special, and I so admired how she loved, how she did things with so much enthusiasm and thoughtfulness. I still have some special gifts she gave to me way back in the day too. My sincere sympathy to her large, beautiful family. She will be missed, but always remembered and in the hearts of the lives she touched.

Mary’s annual holiday letter was always a beautiful tribute to her family and all their activities. Her warm and open-hearted sharing was an example of how she lived. We’re grateful to have known Mary and to have been in her company various times.

Most of all we will miss the joy that Mary gave David.

Mary was so good about sharing funny stuff on my Facebook page (especially puns, because she knew how much love them). She and I also shared much of the same views about justice and politics. When I left Facebook in 2019(?), she instead kept me "in the loop" with almost daily emails about those topics, which I deeply appreciated. That pretty much continued right up until the day before she went to the hospital. Mary was such a blessing in so many ways.

Mary frequently sang the song El Shaddai at the Seder Supper held at the church for a number of years. She is well remembered for how beautifully she sang the song; so well known, in fact, that when I've mentioned her passing recently to others who were also there, they don't remember who she was
until I mention that she was the one who sang that song. THEN they remember!!

I send love and sympathy to Mary's large and loving family. During this difficult time I know you are strengthened by Mary's devotion to all of you and desire to make your lives better. She will be missed but never forgotten.

Mary was a key part of the Tai Chi community that drew me into the practice, and made learning a joy. She was a wonderful teacher and helped make the classes relaxed and fun, using her expertise and experience to encourage us in positive ways. Her humor and kindness will be sorely missed, but she leaves an invisible legacy in all of us, whose practice of Tai Chi she nurtured and encouraged. She gave us a template we can use to share our love of Tai Chi with others, which ensures her lovely spirit will be with us all as we go forward.

Mary is irreplaceable. I was new to AAUW IN 2020 and Mary's enthusiastic welcome is something I will never forget. I will treasure memories of her wit, humor, brilliance and kindness. Phyllis Graham

Mary was all sunshine, smiles and music --especially music! Her joyful heart lives on in music!

Mary was such a vibrant presence with a quick wit, genuine care and compassion, intelligent questioning, and a voluminous recall of songs, with, of course, the voice to share them. I miss her dearly.

Not only did Mary gift us with a fun aqua class, but she energized the friendship discussion after the class. I miss her. Nancy
