I’m so sorry to hear the news that Mary has passed away and wish I could have made it to her celebration of life service. Mary was such a blessing with her ministry of crocheting beanies for women going through chemo. I met Mary through my breast cancer support group, Women of Hope, and was able to give some of her adorable hats to a few of my friends who were going through cancer treatment. I was also able to take about 40 of her hats with me to the Young Survival Coalition annual summit in 2015 in Houston, where hundreds of breast cancer survivors were in attendance. The hats were given away within minutes after I brought them to the YSC check-in booth. Mary’s generosity was such a blessing to so many people. My deepest condolences and prayers are with her family during this time of loss.
Charlotte and family—– I also got to know Mary through the Women of Hope Breast Cancer group. What a delightful lady Mary was. Her generosity knew no bounds when she shared the hats she crocheted with our group, not only for our gals but she evcouraged us to take them to share with others who crossed our paths. Many women are feeling better about themselves as they wear the unique and beautiful hats made with love. I loved Mary’s spunk and her smile. She seemed to take our group on as one of her “mission” projects, for which we are thankful. Also we enjoyed getting to know Charlotte as she accompanied her mother to our group many times.
May sweet memories give you comfort and may God’s love be with you! Blessings, Lynn West

My name is Gail Napoles. I have been apart of the women of hope and just want to extend my condolences to you and your family. May the peace from God that surpasses all understanding be with each one of you.
Mary was a unique, precious soul who made a difference in so many lives. She adopted our Breast Cancer Support Group, Women of Hope, and blessed so many of our ladies with her darling hats. She attended many of our meetings and even came in her wheelchair a few times – always cheerful and encouraging. We still have some of her hats so her legacy of love lives on.
To Robert, Charlotte and all this amazing family, I extend my deepest sympathy and prayers .May God’s blessings of comfort and peace be yours.
Mary came up to me in Hyvee ( she didn’t know me ) and asked if she could knit me some hats and what colors I would like them to be. It wasn’t but a few days later that they were delivered to my home. What an angel ! She also asked if I had anyone else that might like hats and so she sent them to my friend in another state. She certainly did do God’s work here on earth and I felt blessed to have her find me in my time of need. May her spirit soar in heaven as her loving soul did here with us. Thank you Mary . I needed you just at that moment you saw me.
