Deborah Batterton wrote a sympathy message

“Mary was my IDOL! As a young teacher, just starting my first teaching job, and without a “clue,” Mary was my idea of the very best kind of teacher. She had the perfect blend of fun, with a no nonsense approach. Mary introduced John and I to the 1000 Islands where we had many adventures together. When Mary and Ron found each other again, we were thrilled to see how happy she was! For 56 years she was a wonderful friend….she was a gift to us and we will miss her! Debbe and John Batterton”
