Mary was a valued long time member of our Mount Lildon WI and very involved in every activity we had. For years she made all the buns necessary for our tea and they were always appreciated by those attending because they could always tell that they were homemade and tasty. She enjoyed coming out to our meetings and visiting with her friends. Sincere sympathy to her family from Don and Cheryle McClure - Posted by: Cheryle and Don McClure (Friend through WI) on: Mar 09, 2016

Sincere sympathy, Norma and Bill. Mary was a charming and elegant lady with a twinkle in her eye. It is an honor to be her friend. I will visit with her in Lilyfield on a summers day and she will know that I am there. Angel that she is. Joyce Costello Rose - Posted by: Joyce Rose (friend) on: Mar 09, 2016
