We wish we could have attended the funeral to personally convey our sympathy to all the family on the loss of a mother/grandma/great-grandma who was loved by so many. She was our Sister in O.E.S., our dear friend in life. Loved the way she would get that twinkle in her eye & that sly smile when she was up to mischief. She loved being part of ” the Husky Gang” & we loved having her there to share a meal & good times. We are glad she lived such a long & full life but will miss her terribly. Rest in Peace, dear friend.

Carolyn and family…I was so sorry to read in the paper about your Mom..I would have been there if I had of known..she was a great friend to both Mom and Dad and I know my parents valued all the years of friendship they had with your Mom and Dad..I saw your Mom so many times when I drove Dad to various functions after Mom passed away and she always had a smile on her face and kind words..she came to Dad’s funeral two years ago and I was so happy. That she came…We were lucky enough to have Dad live to 96. But you were even luckier to enjoy more time with your Mom….my thoughts are with you and now we know the 4 of them are all having their own Eastern Star meeting in heaven… Nancy Weddell McElroy

For everyone who had the honor of meeting Mary they will understand what I mean when I say she was truly the essence of happiness, love and selflessness.

Dear Carolyn during the years that we have worked together and shared many pictures and moments of your mother.

she rest in peace. Lynda,Owen and Sarah.
