"Mary was a wonderful person. I knew her as my client, but she was more of a friend. We didn\'t speak often but when we did it was like talking to someone I knew my whole life. She loved her family and would have done anything within her ability to help them. She adored her granddaughter Megan. I will miss her. Donna Fortune Holland"

Tributes
"Mary was my other Mom! She raised me! I would proudly say \'We are the best of friends\'. She was Grace under pressure, Joy under sadness and a Strong shoulder in tragedy. If you knew her, you loved her; probably as much as she loved you. Macy\'s friends and families made her day/week/year. She retired at 80, but only because she was ill; not many knew that. Not many understood what she went through for her grandchildren and great-granddaughter. My life is fuller, because of her. You are missed Mary...we loved you so! "
"Mary always had a smile for everyone i knew her and Bill from the old neighborhood. i would find time to just go by Macy\'s to say hello she will be remembered for her sweet smile and friendliness. "
"Mary was a joy to be around. When she walked into our Sunday school class, she would say something to make us all smile. She had a good sense of humor . We all loved her and will miss her very much. We are praying for her family who she dearly loved. She is rejoicing with her Savior now and not in pain."
