Mary was a classic. She was a hard worker in the Iowa Senate, and very kind. What great stories she'd tell ... and they were all true!
God bless her.

My condolences to the entire family. I worked with Mary at Thompson-Hayward for several years right after I moved from the Quad Cities to Des Moines, just a year out of high school. Although I didnt keep in touch after leaving T-H, Ive never forgotten how much fun she was to work with and all that I learned from her (especially about the south side). What a remarkable person.

Mary was a remarkable person. I feel blessed to have her in my life. I will miss her great sense of humor and ornery ways. A devoted mother to her family and friends is how I would describe her best. Rest In Peace dear one. Love you
