So sorry to hear about losing Mary. I loved knowing her in HAMACO at Trinity and am proud to have called her one of my earliest friends in Beaumont. Condolences to her family.
So sorry to hear that Mary passed away. She and my mother June worked together many years at Mid-Jeff and continued their friendship long after retirement. She has and will always hold a special place in mine and Janice’s heart for her friendship with our family.

It is so sad to hear of Mary’s passing. She was such a wonderful cousin. We spent a lot of fun times together. My deepest sympathy to your family.
Mary was such a wonderful person. She was an exceptional nurse and co-worker. Funny, kind and a friend to everyone! I loved to hear her laugh! She loved big and gave big♥️ love to her girls and grandchildren, her heart and soul, pattiepricern
Mary became one of my very best friends while she lived here in Kansas and worked together in the ER at St Francis. We spent many hours together scouring the Antique stores in the area. After her move to Beaumont I flew out for a visit. I will miss her.
Mary was part of an original group of nurses my late mother, Marian worked with. She spoke fondly of her often and was proud Mary held her wedding reception at her home in 1988. She attended my Dads service a few years back and their eyes lit up and they shared a hug! I imagine they are in heaven telling these young docs how it’s done. She remembered kindly and spoke of her daughters with love.
Mary would come by with Meals on Wheels and deliver to my dad. He loved seeing her dog. Prayers for the family.
Hugs from Kansas!
Mary was a very special friend. Our shared experiences in the medical field gave us a special connection. I join you in celebrating her accomplished life of caring for others and loving her family above all.
