I remember Mary as we worked at Memorial Hospital together for a short time. I was aware of her as she was the sister to an old classmate of mine in the first grade at Eugene. (Lila). I hope to get in touch with this family again. So sorry to hear of this great loss of your sister Lila, and to the family. I can be reached at 417 230 8786 in Springfield. (Lois Ann Beck)
I remember Mary from school days at Eugene grade and high school. Mary was a kind and gentle soul who would never think of offending or harming anyone. She was a pretty girl who kept a smile on her face. May God bless her and hold her close in the palms of his eternally loving hands. Rest in peace, Mary. Alan Wright, Eugene Class of 1964.
