Mary was born on January 30, 1947, to Woodson and Edna Dunn in Irvington, NE. Growing up Mary had six brothers and three sisters and grew up on a farm. Mary attended Irvington School from Kindergarten through Eighth Grade. Mary attended Benson High School where she graduated from in 1965 and was part of the National Honors Society. Mary was married on May 31, 1969, at St. Ann’s Catholic Church. Mary raised three children, Joe, Kristi, and Mike.
Mary had a strong faith in God. Mary worked as a customer service representative for many years and was proud to permit and route trucks across the United States. Mary was a hard worker, supported her children as they grew up, and instilled a strong work ethic in them. She loved her grandchildren and one of her greatest passions was attending their activities and sports. She would often tell stories about her grandchildren. Mary loved watching Hallmark movies and country music television. Her favorite singer was Reba McEntire. Mary will be dearly missed and always remembered. Our family is grateful to know that Mary is finally at peace and in God’s hands.
