She spent many summers traveling the states with J-Bar-J Rodeo Company, where she made numerous friends and had countless adventures. Mary had a great sense of humor, and loved playing cards and board games. She was known for her spunk and she loved dancing and singing along to classic rock. One thing heard over and over through the years was how much people enjoyed her tenacity and spirit. A celebration of life gathering will be held at a family residence in August.
