Mary spent the beginning of her life in Wausau, where she met the love of her life, James, and they were wed in 1976. Her and James moved to Rhinelander in the 80s, where they've spent the rest of their lives together. Mary spent some of her years working at Pat's Daycare and Grandma Hug-A-Bunch while raising her granddaughter Breanna. Mary enjoyed spending time with her family, friends, doing word searches, playing with her chihuahua Deevo, and so much more. Recently, she moved to the Rhine Haus apartments with James, where she made many friends and enjoyed spending time on the patio, listening to one of her neighbors play guitar. She was also a faithful member of St. Mark's Lutheran Church for many years.
