Age 86

Beloved wife of the late Russell R. for 57years. Dear mother of Russell Jr., Mary Kathryn-Ann (Jim Barr), Elissa (John) Allmand and the late Christopher. Adoring grandmother of Brittany (Rob), Gabrielle, Ashley (Kurt), Avory, Evan (Reagan), Garrett, and the late Brittany Perry. Great grandmother of Sylas, and Stella. Dear sister of the late Noel, and Pamela. Also survived by her brother-in-law of David. Mary Loved her family more than anything.

She and Russ raised their kids on a small farm, where they taught them valuable life skills. Russ and Mary had their own 4-H club, where many children got to experience community, a love for animals, and a sense of family.

Mary did her own canning, made her children's clothes, and embraced country living, all while working many years for various companies. She was most proud of her 20+ years with U of M Hospital. Where she worked as an Administrator for General Surgery. She was well loved and admired there.

What we are most proud of her for is the love and care she poured into our family. Most importantly "Our Father". She loved and cared for him over the years, as his health became bad, with her entire heart. Their love was a true fairy tale, and one we aspire to live up to. We find solace in knowing they are together again eternally.

A Memorial Service will be held at a later date.
