Mary held a special place in everyone's heart that she came across. Her shine and spontaneous antics were untouchable and her love for everyone was unconditional. Her love for her dogs and her grandbabies was endless. She enjoyed being out in nature and doing crafts with her grandbabies. She thrived in being a very involved mom and grandma. She loved her plants and collecting rocks from everywhere she went, and she always made us smile and laugh, as her imagination ran wild with what she would see in them. She touched so many lives. Our family was blessed to have her. She was loved by many and will be forever missed, but will always remain in our hearts.
