My sincere condolences over Mary’s passing. I had the pleasure of meeting her during her time in Florida. Her spirit was delightful and her energy was infectious. I have thought of her over the years with fond admiration. Heaven has gained a spitfire, RIP Mary.

I enjoyed her organ music very much loved listening to her play and most of all she was a great Yahtzee player my favorite one to play with

I first met Aunt Bernie when Kathy and I went to Indianapolis for a visit in the late 1980’s. We then visited her when she lived in Bradenton FL a few times in the 2000’s. She played the organ for us and I was amazed at how good she was. The last time I saw her was in Indianapolis (where a big bunch of family met at her favorite cafeteria). During that trip we also saw uncle Bud and Aunt Grace, I think in 2017. She was always full of funny stories of adventure and excitement. I will never forget her telling us about driving an old pickup truck through a swanky area on Lido Key outside Sarasota FL and getting pulled over because the cops didn’t want “no good’s” coming on to the island. And when she moved from Florida back to Indianapolis she was set to drive the U-Haul there by herself. Never one to be shy, she was always the spark of any get together. Loved her very much and so sad to see her go, but boy did she have an amazing life!!
