In life, Mary will be remembered for her generous spirit, warm heart, quiet grace, and unwavering patience. Through her work at the newspapers (Western Guard in Madison, MN and Daily News in Wahpeton, ND), in her photography studio (Summit Studios), as a writer, and as a devoted homemaker, as well as her years of volunteer service as a choir director and Sunday School teacher, Mary touched countless lives. Whether quilting, embroidering, antiquing, playing piano, reading, attending her class and family reunions, sitting in the passenger's seat on a long drive, or simply offering a kind word, she left a lasting impression on everyone who knew her.
