My memories of Mary mostly have to do with happy times and eating lunch at Pop’s with her daughter Kelly when Mary would come to visit. I’m really glad that I had the pleasure of knowing her.

I’ll always remember my GREAT GREAT Aunt Mary! As she would say, “so great you have to say it twice!” Her advice that has stuck with me through life is to always eat dessert first because, “you never know if you’ll make it to the end of the meal or if there will be room.” The memories of all the card games played at grandma’s (Barb Rexroth) will hold a special place in my heart. Wishing I could play one more round of “Sh*t on your neighbor” while enjoying a nice root beer float together. Rest in peace 😇
