So saddened to hear of my friends unexpected death. I met Mary when she came to work at Shop and Save in Belington and we bacame friends while working there. Mary was like Family to Cindy and I and we have some fond memories of the time we were together. Patty, Mary, Cindy and I went to Alantic City together and had a great time. I will miss the three of them but they are probably catching up on old times right now. Mary was a wonderful lady and always had a smile for everyone. I think Mary and I hit it off because we were both trying to raise our children on our own and had a lot in common. I was so happy she found her way back to Jerry and had the life she deserved, I know she was happy and loved her family with all her heart. I will miss her and her beautiful smile but will be forever grateful for being a part of her life and making memories with her. I love You Mary, God has an extra Angel with a beautiful smile.
My deepest sympathies for all of you. Mary was a sweet lady.

Our thoughts are with her daughters during their time of loss. Mary introduced Jim and I, 32 years ago. She encouraged Jim to come over talk to me. We have been married 30 years now with one son. Every anniversary we think of Mary. She was spirited and out going. She was always smiling, happy looking.
So sorry for the loss of your loved one, Mary was such a wonderful lady, I have known her since she was still in high school, and I have seen her at certain times, she never changed, she was just as sweet as she always had been. I know she has had a wonderful marriage, she told me how nice he was to her, she had two beautiful, and they were two wonderful people, I know she loved her family, I know she worshipped her grandson, Tyler, and I know Tyler well, and yes she had a good grandson, so happy God gave her Tyler for a grandson, again I am sorry, I will b praying for all of u, in the days, weeks, and months ahead, God bless all of u. Love, Tom and Brenda Evix.

I just learned of Mary’s passing and am so sorry. She was such a joyful and caring person, always making me feel welcome when visiting with my Legal Aid family in Elkins. God bless you all.ePPY
On behalf of all of Mary's former colleagues at Legal Aid of West Virginia, I send deepest condolences. Mary's smile lit up the Elkins Legal Aid office for nine years. She was kind and compassionate to all around her – from a staff member having a difficult day to someone seeking help after experiencing homelessness or domestic violence. She retired from Legal Aid two years ago and her optimism and can-do attitude has been missed not only in Elkins but throughout the program. She was a very special person and we are so glad she was part of our Legal Aid family.
