Mary was a constant supporter of her family and all things Pierre. She was the official score keeper for the softball teams of Maynard and Marie. She loved Pierre sports and followed the high school teams through highs and lows; she took ownership when the Govs did well, but looked forward to next year when teams struggled.

Mary worked as Branch manager for the Pierre mall branch of First National Bank for 52 years. After retirement, Mary enjoyed traveling the state following the activities of her grandchildren. Mary enjoyed a bargain and could often be found browsing garage sales around Pierre and local thrift stores. The best part of her garage sale Saturdays was the lunch and cold beer afterward at any local pub and grub.

Mary was very generous with her time and her gifts. Never would a birthday or event pass without a card in the mail. Mary was truly a gift to all who knew her.
