My sincerest condolences to Marys daughters. Our mothers were sisters, as well as Aunt Eda and we spent most summers and holidays together. Mary was one of the most giving, of herself, people I knew and guided me through some very difficult times. Mary will be sorely missed.Rose Marie Karl

I was fortunate to grow up knowing Mary, her family, sister Lillian brothers . She had a bright smile, always glad to see you attitude. Also, I was one of the lucky Army that loved her cooking especially the Gumbo. I have tried through the years but could never make it as good. I will miss seeing her every once in awhile on trips to Port Arthur but will always carry great memories of her. Rob ,Vicki Family
