I was very sorry to hear of Mary’s passing. I did her hair for a lot of years… she was wonderful person. and fun to do.. always pleasant . I well miss her.. Sincerely Sally Hunter
So very sorry for your loss, I remember her, and visiting her!
So sorry to hear of Mary’s passing. I worked, many years ago, at Seneca Lumber, with Pat and knew Mary quite well as her and Pat attended our wedding in 1967. We too attended St. Clara’s church, where she’d be every Sunday morning. I sometimes drive through Clarendon and always think of them both, in that little green house, on the left, perched up on that small hill. Times were good back then and Mary and Pat were both part of making it that way. I’ll never forget them and how nice they were to my family. Rest in peace Mary.
My sympathy to you, Donnie and Barbara. Our families go back to before we were born.
Many good times, memories and stories. She was welcomed into open arms as she left us.
Praying for you all. Georgi
Sorry for your loss, never met your mom but she raised a good son and a friend. You will miss her but she is in a better place now. Take care my friend.
Sending you my deepest condolences for the loss of your Mom, Donnie & Barb. Aunt Mary will be remembered and missed all who knew her. The great memories will give comfort.
Donnie – Sending my sympathies to you and your wife. Your mom was one of the great Clarendon ladies.
Don, Your mother was one of nicest ladies I ever met sorry to hear of her passing.
I was blessed with Mary as my neighbor for 17 years. She was the sweetest lady I have ever met. It has saddened me for the past three years to see her house and know she was no longer my neighbor. Mary and I looked after each other, and had many conversations standing by the fence and enjoying the beautiful weather. She would always have a pat on the head and a treat for my giant breed dog. I miss her leftovers that she would share with me and I miss her presence. She had told me I was like the daughter she never had, that was a blessing I will never forget. I know her and Aunt Helen and the other ladies are rejoicing in Heaven and she is no loner hurting. God has called a true Angel home 🙁
I love and miss you Mary!
Don Barbie ,Joe Karen. So sorry for your loss. Hugs
