Mary was a cook for many years at Nopeming Nursing Home, Duluth, and the Billings Park Cafe, Superior.

Some of her interests included traveling, cooking, trips to the casino, and her greatest love was spending time with her family.

Mary was recently visited by nieces, Linda (Dick) Neiser of Maryland and Sharon (Bill) Hyde and Carrie Hyde of Florida, and many others who shared their love with a woman who was all about love and family.

A celebration of life luncheon will be held at a later date.

Until we see each other again Mom, "Love you more".

Aunt Mary was a spitfire and I'm so glad I was luck to have the special times with her I did. My thoughts are with her girls and our family, wherever they are right now. What a totally cool lady - she will be missed, but will be in our hearts forever.
