    I worked with Mary for many years and enjoyed Mary very much in her role as union president. Mary and I often talked about the company and many other things. The last time I saw Mary was at the 2018 retiree Christmas luncheon and I enjoyed her company very much, especially since I had not seen her for many years.
    My thoughts and prayers go out to her family. God bless you all.

    Mary married my uncle Joe when I was a teenager. She seemed more like my big sister than my aunt. I always looked forward to her company and I was truly sorry when they separated. Over the years we caught up with each other. _ usually at someone’s wake. I always felt she was my friend and I was truly sorry to see she had passed. My deepest condolences to all her family.
    God bless,
    Terry Cummings Case

    i knew Mary as “mom’s friend” and then she came into my life when I lost my mom Sharon Rockenstire. It was an honor and a blessing to have her in my life and I will never forget her! Thank you dear friend for loving me and mom and for all you’ve brought to my life “For Good” xoxo.
