Mary and I have been close Friends for many years..went to the same Schools and when we entered the Work world we ended up working in the same building on Loudoun St. When we married we each chose a Sailor!!! I was in her wedding and she was in mine.......I will miss our evening chit chats........Mary,,I am so thankful for the memories...........

I remember fondly the many times Mary, Hilda, Lori and I just took off on day trips and had such wonderful times together--we would shop, eat lunch, shop some more, eat desert and head home. Mary was a wonderful friend, and we shared good times in the Singin' Seniors at First Baptist Church. I will cherish many fond memories of her and always hold her dearly in my heart. My thoughts and prayers are with family at this very sad time. Mary Horne

Mary was a treasured gift to our family, particularly to Dean. Mary took her in hand and under-wing during this last year. She shared her memories, kindness and care everyday. She provided a watchful eye and incredible patience. We will miss you Miss Mary! Thank you and your family for sharing your love!

As a former son-in-law of Mary's,I can say she has always been good to me and to my present wife. That's the kind of person Mary was,kind to everybody. She once read I Corinthians 13 to me to show me the kind of love God wants us all to have. That's the kind of love Mary exemplified. May you enjoy your eternal rewards now "grandma Jolliffe" and may the God of peace bless you with His peace. I hope to see you again someday.

Mary and Joe opened their home and heart to me as a childhood friend of Suzie and Sally. Many were the weekends spent at their house, all filled with love and caring. Suzie and I have had "that" special friendship bond that lasts forever. Mary can be very proud of her Daughters and the Women they have become. We will miss you always.

Peace of mind is a call away. We're here when you need us most.

I am very sorry for your lost "Look towards the hill which all of your help com meths from the Lord."

Susan and Sally... So sorry for the loss of your wonderful Mother. It was so nice getting to see her around the apartment building and talking about the good old days! She always had a smile and something nice to say. She spoke of you often and you could hear the love and pride in her voice. She will really be missed!

Please accept our deepest condolences for your family's loss.
