I had the honor to work at Erickson Displays with Mary for many years. She was by far the hardest working person they had! When I first started I thought what a gruff little lady but soon realized what a peach she was. We had something in common in that we spoke our mind. When I was having a bad day in the office I'd take a walk to the shop and she always had me smiling. in no time at all. I dearly loved that woman!

Larry and Betsi,
My thoughts and prayers are with you. I only had the chance to meet her once but will always remember her smile. Betsi was so kind to her and always made sure she was taken care of.
God Bless.
