Some people only walk this earth for a short time. Their departure reminds us that angels are watching over us. Mary was a compassionate spirit whose passion was caring for others.

Mary leaves behind: four biological daughters, Mary, Colleen, Danielle and Karen; a son, William-Billy; four step-daughters, Missy, Melanie, Kristy and Shannon; and numberous grandchildren and great-grandchildren to honor and cherish her loving memories. ❤

Funeral services for Mary will be conducted Friday afternoon, November 12, 2021, at 2:00 p.m., at Vining Funeral Home's "Chapel of the Valley" by Dr. Phil Tutor, of the New Life City Church.

Mary will be laid to rest Monday morning, November 15, 2021, at 10:00 a.m., at the Southern Arizona Veterans Memorial Cemetery in Sierra Vista.
