 Mary loved to laugh, and loved sharing time with people she loved and who loved her. Mary enjoyed her memories of being a synchronized swimmer, bowling, traveling and fishing. Her dream fish was a Tiger Muskee. She was an avid lover of horses. Mary was a very kind and generous woman. Mary worked as a legal secretary and Notary Public for over 40 years at Alderman and Alderman. She truly enjoyed her job and the people she worked with whose friendships carried on through her life.

 Mary always spoke highly of all of her friends which were always held in the highest of places in her heart, and had a special love for friends and neighbors, always looking forward to visits with the children (she loved sharing her sweet treats with them).

 Mary will be missed by everyone who knew her and to know her was to love her.
