Her favorite tv  show was "The Bang Theory".  She had a great sense of humor. She loved her neighbors on Sixth Street in Hartford, SD and often talked about "Thirsty Thursday's"!

Mary had some favorite sayings she liked to us especially on her children:

Lord love a duck!
This to shall pass!
You'll forget all about it by the time your married!
Meanwhile back at the ranch!
Put that in your pipe and smoke it!
Mighty tasty said the spider to the fly!
