Mary, my niece, was always a beautiful spirit with a huge heart and smile. I so enjoyed listening to her passions for all things of nature. She immersed herself in her passions, learning everything she could to be the best she could be. We have lost an amazing young woman, taken from all who love her and were inspired by her ... way too early.

This girl always had a smile and always willing to help! The memories that stick out most to me...when I was in 7th grade track we were running the Indian run and we were at the end of the line but we just walked, talked & laughed. Then in 9th grade she helped me prepare my speech for English class..how to make a paper flower, later that year she helped me when I first got contacts (apparently I put them inside out & they kept falling out ) & Lastly I love when Mary took all of us to the Diercks Bentley concert. Mary was so much fun to be around!

I worked with Mary at Pine Haven and was in a play or two with her in high school. I loved that she was always so genuine and witty. She was so fun to talk to and most of all laugh with, because as others have mentioned, it was impossible not to laugh with her once she got started. In one of our plays, we had a scene together where she was an astronaut and I was a bartender. Sometimes we would just burst out laughing before we could even start our lines. We definitely got some annoyed looks from our director but it was so worth it. In hindsight I don’t remember what was so funny all the time, but I do remember how much fun we had together and I’m so thankful for that memory with her.

Annie published a tribute .

It’s hard to put this in words fitting a memorial, you never really went for the cliches. You were a light in after school activities. It didn’t matter if you were in a younger class Mary would always make you feel like you were a close friend and had inside jokes with everyone. She had the darkest humor and the wickedest cackle when she’d say something really funny. That “witchy laugh” was the litmus test in theater.... it meant our jokes or roast was really uncontrollably funny. She’d laugh at her own jokes, but it always got everyone else laughing with her. She had her own path and never shied away from being a stand out or her own person. She really impacted a lot of lives even if we never got to say it or show her. Thank you for the countless memories and showing everyone life was never too serious and too short to stick to the status quo or spend time worried about what others think. You’re an amazing soul, a beautiful person. The brightest stars burn the quickest.

Oh Mary, I still can’t believe you’re gone..I remember how I met you. I needed someone to feed my chickens and water my horses and there you were.Always willing to help and always with the most radiant smile ever. I call it “smize” you always smiled with those snappy blue eyes. I will miss our conversations about gardening, chickens,travel,mushrooms,and so much more. You were going to teach me about mushrooms and I was going to show you my weed control gardening tricks.Kinda a hippy girl at heart who had so much more to do. It’s not fair. I don’t know Why you were taken at such a young age ... But I know things will be different now . You will forever be in our hearts ♥️.
