Mary had a passion for baking, sewing, and collecting Madame Alexander dolls. She found joy in simple pleasures—watching her favorite daytime soap operas, swimming, attending church, and creating precious memories with friends and family.

Her love, warmth, and compassion created a legacy that will live on in the hearts of all who knew her. She will be deeply missed.

Kay was involved in her children’s activities as a Girl Scout Troop Leader, PTA leader, and religious education teacher. Throughout her life she worked at Lutheran Hospital in Moline, opened her own preschool, and worked in technology and sales. Although she enjoyed these jobs, her main profession was caring for and supporting her family. She always did for everyone else first and often had to be persuaded to take care of herself and things she needed. 

Kay had a passion for sweets especially, chocolate chip cookies, donuts, and ice cream.  Her favorite things to eat were pizza, hamburgers, and believe or not peanut butter and sweet pickle sandwiches. She loved listening to country and rock n roll music.
