Mary enjoyed and showed great talent for sewing, crocheting, quilting, and also woodwork all while maintaining and keeping a home for her family.
She greatly enjoyed her job driving bus for Port Huron Schools until she had to leave due to health reasons. Later due to diabetes she had to undergo a leg amputation. She continued all of her crafts and running the family just now on wheels. Her health continued to deteriorate until she passed away on May 21st, 2022 in her home surrounded by family. We know a soul like hers went directly to Heaven. We can close our eyes and see her young, happy, healthy, and whole again atop her favorite horse, a Buckskin named Jud, riding the trails and running barrels.
We love you.
We miss you.
We wait to see you again,
Mark and the girls.
