She loved to read, collect horse figures and plates, spend time with family, and babysit her new friend, “Special K.” She is preceded in death by her parents Milton & Esther, nieces and nephews Rebecca, Ronda, Gail, and Scott Larson, as well as nephew William Anderson. Mary is survived by loving daughter Jerrie Anderson; loving granddaughter and confidante Melissa Williams; sisters Ethel (David) Marx, Elaine Anderson, Rose (Ron) Peters, Beatrice McCarthy; brother Eric (Elizabeth) Moline.
