She loved her boyfriend Randall and the amazing friends that she made along the way. Known for dancing to her own drum, Mary was her own person and refused to conform to any idea of “normal”.

She was very proud of her Cherokee Heritage as a registered member and would share with anyone she could. She is loved and will be missed by many.
