I had great memories of Mary, and my wife June was a good friend of hers. Her husband Dave and Mary were loads of fun. I have a bunch of old pics from those days. I did not know Mary had passed, but I do know what a loss she was to Dave, her family and her friends. Sorry to hear of this loss Dave. Dean M Schantzen

I was saddened to read of Mary's passing. I worked with Mary for a number of years at Alliant Energy. In that time it became evident to me that Mary was a no nonsense, responsible and diligent worker who cared about getting the things done right, yet she had an easy laugh that was a reminder that although work should be taken seriously, it wasn't that serious.
I was on a redesign team with Mary and if she was not at a meeting where we were struggling with a decision I heard the Vice President who was supervising our work say more than once "Let's run this by Mary, she'll give it the smell test"...her sound advice highly valued. What a great testimony to her judgement, intellect and integrity. I am sorry she is no longer among us. My sincere sympathy to those who loved Mary.

Mary was a sweet lady with an infectious laugh and a doggedness to facts and purpose, as indicated by her graduation from Mount Mercy College in 1992, 25 years after high school. What a marvel!
My memories extend back to that time and before, to the point of remembering Mary and Dave prior to their marriage. Those memories still bring a smile, Dave was motivated to get that laugh and smile out of Mary. Just like magnets, it seemed as opposites attract, but I think the years proved out that it was love, not magnetic force.
Mary could calm the waters, make others comfortable and be kind in bringing out the facts. I'm a lucky fellow to have known her and been able to appreciate the early days of Mary and Dave!
May all the Angels, Saints, Holy men and Holy women welcome Mary into God's eternal Grace. And may God Bless her memory and continue to rain down Blessings upon the family and friends who gather to celebrate her life as a consideration for those in sadness and grief.

I don't even know where to start to say how special Mary was and what an important part her friendship played in my life. Her sense of humor and joyous nature were infectious and you couldn't help but be happy in her presence. Friday nights at the Starlite Lounge and the Home Port will remain an indelible memory of the wonderful times together.
My heart goes out to Dave and the rest of Mary's family. Peace be with you.
