Mary-

what a wonderful person. you taught us so many things to help us on our way through life. You taught us appreciation of farm life, the animals, the food both the preparing and the consumption. You were always so interested in our life and the lives of our children. Your strengths, perseverance, positivity, intelligence, and the love you shared were your gifts to your nieces and nephews. There are so many memories; but some of the fondest were hard fought battles scrabble where both you and grandma allowed me to win with words that I am sure now did NOT exists. for those and the so many other ones

We met Mary & Doris shortly after we purchased the house across the street from them in 1987. They co-hosted a coffee honoring longtime residents of the 200 block of Koser Avenue (John & Irene Herring, Alice Messer, Joe & Mary Jane Noone, and Dewey & Velma Stuit). It was a wonderful way to meet our neighbors. That was July 9th, 1988. Since then we have entertained them with our house remodeling & landscaping antics over the years. Koser Avenue has lost a wonderful friend and neighbor. Mary will be greatly missed.

What a terrific person! Always a smile. Doris, you and your family have my heartfelt sympathy. Mary will be missed. Love, Ann and Terry

What a marvelous woman! I loved her active mind, watched her read multiple newspapers each day. Doris and Mary were and are best friends. They were part of my world after I moved to Seattle. Mary spent her entire life thinking of others. What an amazing person. She will be missed by all her friends, and by her sister Doris. But her presence will also be everywhere in this world.
