I've worked with Miss Mary since around 2003.
Just this last Friday, I was helping her with an online class in Early Childhood that she was taking, and we were joking about her becoming a computer expert.
She will be missed.

Ms. Mary was a tremendous asset to our county . She was loved by so many people . If you met Mary you would leave with a smile and look forward to your next visit . She has helped raise and cared for close to a thousand children over the past 33 years . Her memory was incredible, a waking historian to say the least . She could remember dates and events unlike anyone I have ever known . So many parents through the years would ask advice and she always had a good answer . Mary will be missed as she was loved by so many , she was a caring person that loved wildlife and her cats in her spare time .
