Mary’s greatest joy in life was her family. She treasured her children, grandchildren, and great-grandchildren, who brought her immeasurable love and happiness. While living in Michigan, Mary bred and raised Akitas, a breed she dearly loved. Later, while living in St. Louis, her beloved pets were Murphy and Louie, who held a special place in her heart.

Mary was dearly loved by her family and all who knew her. She will be remembered with love and affection and will be deeply missed by all whose lives she touched.
