My mother, Ruth, is Marys cousin. Ruth is also 97 and when they attended Holt Association meetings, Mom(Ruth) won oldest because she was born in February. Mary usually won when Ruth wasnt there. I remember as a child visiting Mary and her husband and he had covered the lawn with carpets. We always enjoyed visiting Mary. She was full of life. We also enjoyed her typewritten notes....a blast from the past. She will certainly be missed by all of us. We would love to go to the services if you could email me.
