Such a wonder person and nurse. This is quite a loss. I was honored to work with Mary for decades. May all find peace at this time. Love, Georgina Moore Chesky
There are no words that could ever express how truly and unconditionally you were loved. You will be missed always little momma. XOXO
She was a wonderful nurse and friend. I loved talking to her about St Joe’s. She was a great help as a case worker on 6- North. Always loved seeing her. Wonderful smile.
A sweet precious soul. I loved her and her daughter Kelly. I’ve known them since Kelly was a young girl who played ball with my daughter. They both shared a sweet spirit. All my prayers. Cindy Nichols
I love and miss you so much Mom. I’m glad that you are no longer suffering or in pain like you have been your whole life. You are the strongest woman that I have ever known. I’m so lucky that God gave me you to be my Mommy. You did everything in the world for me and Robbie and we are very grateful that we had you. You also was the most caring and loving Nana that my two daughters Kadie and Hannah could have ever had and from your great granddaughter Carli said I love you Nana now you are my Angel Nana. Mom please watch over me and my 3 girls. Love Kelly Marie Jones!!
My condolences to the Ollis family. Mary will be missed dearly. God Bless your family.
Gary and family, we were so sorry to hear about your loss, will be keeping you all in our thoughts and prayers
