Mari and I spent a lot of our childhood and high school together, we did a lot of fun things together as cousins do. We had a fun time always. We use to go to Duck Lake and hang out. I will miss her, but I have some wonderful memories of her.

Mari was the type of person you fall in love with the minute you meet them. I called her “lovable”. My daughter was in her Girl Scout troop and she said to me “mom, I wish we could have Daisies every day.” My heart ❤️ goes out to her family. May God welcome you to his beautiful kingdom as your place on earth was such a blessing. Julie Francis

We met through Girl Scouts and became great friends. Such a fun loving, caring and family focused woman. Thanks for all the talks and love. May the angels welcome you to paradise.
