Aunt Mary you were such a wonderful lady always had a smile on your face. I remember going to your house on Walker Street when I was a young kid and you always had cookies and ice cream bars for us. I remember at your 100th Birthday party you still called me by my sister Nancy's name as everyone always does lol :) I politely corrected you but you would call me Nancy again and I would just nod and say yes - Will miss you, you and Aunt Irene were my favorite Aunts that I enjoyed talking to at the Fisher Family Reunion and now you both are in Heaven and probably catching up on old times - We will miss you!
Love,
Cindy (Geo and Judy Fisher's daughter)

What a "neat" lady both literally and figuratively. Always dressed as if she was going to church, oh yeah by the way, she was. Always impressed that she would drive herself wherever she wanted to go well into her nineties. She was a huge supporter of East High School and always made sure I had a copy of the East High Scroll. She loved going to church and being with some of her friends. At her 100th birthday party she remembered some of our names. As that ability dwindled during the last year or two though, she always lit up when we would mention church during our visits. We will miss her.
