She was a grand lady and told you exactly how it was. She liked going to Cracker Barrel for meat loaf and cleaned her
plate. She was always a joy to be with and will certainly be missed by everyone, especially her caring family.

So very sorry to learn this. I knew Mary and Hundley through the Order of the Eastern Star – Prince Frederick Chapter #104. Even after all the years (since Prince Frederick Chapter had closed), Mary called me every year around the Christmas holidays after she received my Christmas cards. We had a great time remembering “the good old days” and tried to bring each other up to date on folks we jointly knew. Mary was a wonderful lady and friend, whom I will miss talking with each year.
