I went to nurses’ training with Mary and have many good memories of our times in the dorm. She was a fun and loving person with many talents. She will be missed. May God grant her eternal rest. And may her family find peace and comfort in the memories she left behind.

It deeply saddened me to hear about the passing of Mary Theresa. Although it has been many years since we last connected, I remember her fondly from our time growing up on the Eastside together, attending St. Peters School together, and a memorable football homecoming date we shared in high school. With Mary Theresa passing, a part of my youth died with her.
Please accept my heartfelt condolences during this difficult time. My thoughts and prayers are with you and your family

Valley Cheerleading was saddened to learn of the passing of "Grandma Mary," as so many of our cheerleaders referred to her as. Mary was present at every game and event for Valley cheer, and was always the first to volunteer or make a food donation (her cookies were especially loved) if needed. We were blessed to have her and Jaselle as part of our program for four years, and she will be greatly missed.
Sending love, peace, and comfort during this time.

To know Mary was to love her. She was selfless and went out of her way to help anyone, asking for nothing in return. I am praying for your family as I am sure her absence will be felt for quite a time.
