  1. We are saddened to hear of Mary’s passing. Mary was my secretary for many years at the Cayuga Street in Hannibal where she performed her duties in an outstanding manner. Presently my wife and I are in South Carolina and will be unable to attend the services. We extend our sympathy to the family. Sincerely, Dennis M. Kenney

  4. I worked with Mary at Cayuga Street School for about 10 years. No matter what new library project I started or request I made of her, she was always totally supportive. She would sometimes prompt me about things I had forgotten, which was especially helpful. Mary was always cheerful and upbeat and I remember her fondly. My condolences to her family and close friends on her passing.

  5. Very sorry to hear of Mary’s passing. She was a nice, sweet freindly woman. Sincere condolances to Caroline and Rachel.
