Such a loverly, beautiful caring woman all her life..she used to walk to Grandmas house almost daily to visit and when her and Wendy came over for Christmas she never wanted to rip open the pretty wrapping paper so she could saver it..I remember picking her up while she was in the nursing home taking her out to arris’s and over to moms house for bbq’s quite often she sure loved it. I will surely miss her. If more people were like her we wouldn’t have any problems in this world
My grandmother was Antoinette Schlueter who was married to Anton Schlueter. Mary and her husband Wendel came to visit my grandmother in Freeburg, MO. You could not have met a more wonderful and loving couple. Sorry for your loss. Cheryl Eads
Dear Tim: I’m sorry to learn of your Mom’s passing. I remember her as being a very sweet, nurturing, kind, & loving mother and woman. I have wonderful memories of my 6 years catching for you and being around your mom and family. Warm regards, Greg DeLong
Tim & Becky, I am so sorry to read of Mary’s passing back in August. During the time I frequented the Schlueter home many years ago I so remember her kindness to me. I am sure everyone who knows her will feel her absence until we all are reunited again because of our Lord’s promise of eternal life. May you both know I am keeping you in my heart and prayer during this next year. Janelle Fischer Schulte
