My sincere condolences to Kathy, Ed & families on the passing of Mary. She had such a contagious laugh that I will always remember. She & my Mom (Maxine) would always....as soon as it was warm enough....spread blankets on the ground to work on their tans. Another memory is she, Bud & my Mom & Dad sitting at our kitchen table on Fleming Street laughing while playing card games many times when I came home from a date with Rog. There's probably one of those games happening for them now in their Heavenly Home.

So sorry to hear of Mary's passing. She was a huge part of my life growing up. She & Bud were best friends with my Mom & Dad. My memories of her & Bud coming over my house and playing cards with my parents are such vivid and wonderful memories. She was such a wonderful lady. She will be missed. R.I.P. Mary Now you and Bud are playing cards in Heaven with my Mom & Dad (Glenn & Maxine Folk) I can hear the laughter! Love you. Linda Folk Timmer.
Deepest Sympathy to the family of Mary, we will miss her smile and laughter.

Where do I begin? Aunt Mary was my only aunt on my Mom's side, and my family spent every Christmas Eve with her family from the time I can remember until about 20 years ago! I loved that time in my life! I remember playing with my dolls on her front steps when I was little. She babysat for me sometimes when my mom worked. I always thought she was beautiful, and I loved her laugh! In recent years I did not see her much, but when I did, I was always greeted with a smile and a hug! I am so thankful to have seen her on Dec. 31, because I will treasure that memory of her hug and smile! Our sympathies to Kathy, Ed and families! Love you all!
