Mary was born on July 28, 1933 in Libertyville, Illinois. She met the love of her life, Bob, and they married on her birthday in 1956. Their adventures took them to many places including Chicago, Des Moines, and Amarillo before finally settling down in Goodnight, Texas. Mary raised four children: Mark, Susan, Bob, and Linda and was "Nonie" to 14 grandchildren and a whole slew of great grandchildren.
Mary was a jack of all trades and quite the accomplished "inspector general". She loved her family fiercely and there was nothing she wouldn't do for them. She relished her time at home working with her horses and many projects. Mary had a keen eye for antiques and collectibles. She embodied the pioneer spirit, never afraid to take on a snake or lend a helping hand. Mary will be missed by her family and community. She was an inspiration for all that knew her.
