I’m so sorry for your loss. I will keep your family in my prayers.
I’m so sorry for your loss. Mary was my good childhood friend and I know she will be missed. We had many good memories of playing at the farm and in the creek. God bless, Mary. She was a sweetheart of a person.
Although Marys obituary was beautifully written and so sad for the family I would like to add something so all who read the comments will know that she was a wonderful nurse as well as a human being. I worked with Mary at a local Nursing home and would like to say she was a wonderful Nurse. She took pristine care of her patients. I can only hope to have a Nurse take care of me as she did her patients.
Thoughts and prayers in the days ahead. Sorry for your loss.
Sorry for your loss Larry. Mary always had smile, happy go lucky. She never let anything bother her. She surely will be missed. May God comfort you in the days ahead and give you peace. In my prayers and thoughts.
To the Johnson family…praying that God wrap his loving arms around each of you during this difficult time. Take comfort in the beautiful memories you have of your wife, mother, and grandmother.

Mary always had a warm smile. We appreciated living next door to she and Larry for years, and we think so fondly of Mark and Shelley and their sweet families. In recent years, I would frequently pass her walking on my morning jogs. Rest in Peace, sweet Mary.
