Mary was born in Bellefonte, Arkansas, on January 12, 1934. She was raised in Des Moines, Iowa, and attended Clarkson, Warren Harding, and North schools. She was employed previous to marriage at Wallace Homestead Insurance Company and at Bell Telephone Co. She was married to Kenneth Hedlund Hull in March, 1953. They were married until 1978.

She leaves behind to cherish her memory daughter, Marilyn Sue (Jack) Corbin and their sons, Frank Corbin (Heather Hill) and Charles E. Corbin; son, Frank H. (Sandy) Hull and their daughters, Theresa Sue (David) Chivers and grandchildren, Carson and Julianna Chivers; Stephanie Shreeves and granddaughter, Jessica Shreeves; and cousin Barbara Howard (Tim Konopka). She also enjoyed her “furry” grandkids, Kongo, Odie, Sassie, Miss Callie, Lil’ Bit and Shredder.

Mary is reunited in Heaven with her beloved grandparents, Charles and Catherine Papich, parents Frank and Viola Papich, aunts, uncles and cousins, and the love of her life Kenneth Hedlund Hull.

The family wishes to thank all the staff at John Stoddard Cancer Center, IMMC Powell Unit and Taylor House Hospice for their kind and compassionate care of Mary. Memorial donations are suggested for these facilities and to the Animal Rescue League.

Visitation will be held from 12 to 1 p.m., Friday, January 7, 2011, at Hamilton’s near Highland Memory Gardens, 121 NW 60th Avenue, with a graveside service to follow at Highland Memory Gardens Cemetery.

May the wind be at your back
And the sun shine on your face
And the winds of destiny carry your soul
aloft to dance with the stars
Until we meet again
