Mary grew up in Salem and graduated in 1975 from Salem High School. After high school, Mary furthered her education obtaining her bachelor’s degree in business through Southwest Baptist University. Her working career as an intake coordinator in the healthcare industry was something she took great pride in. Mary’s greatest joy came from spending time making memories with her family. She was the proud mother of three daughters: Ashlee, Aubree, and Britta. She cherished her role as grandma to her six grandchildren, Kaden, Keegan, Tayah, Sylas, Deliah, and Joellinn and was looking forward to the arrival of Kolby. Her grandchildren truly were the apple of her eye. Mary had an outgoing personality, lived life to the fullest, and loved swimming at the lake. She was a woman of faith, family, and friends. These were the most important aspects of her life. Mary departed this life on July 12, 2025, in Rolla, Missouri, at the age of sixty-seven years.
