Mary was born July 31, 1955, to Harvey and Emma Lois (Trantenalla) Horsfall.
She was a member of the Church of Jesus Christ of Latter-Day Saints. 

Mary was employed at Hy-Vee Foods in Austin, Minn. Her day was brightened
at work when she saw people she knew. She enjoyed visits and conversations
with friends and people she would meet in her daily life. Mary loved hunting
down garage sale bargains and "antiquing."

She loved visiting her daughter, Christy, her son-in-law, Michael, and
playing with her grandson, Nathan. She was looking forward to the expected
arrival of a new grandchild in March. Mary's children, Betsy, Jeff and Joe,
live with their father in Arizona. Each one of them was in her thoughts and
prayers each day.

Mary is now at peace with the Lord. 

She is survived by her sons, Jeffrey Freese and Joseph Freese of Mesa, Ariz.;
daughters, Christine and her husband, Michael May, of Manhattan, Kan., and
Betsy Freese of Mesa, Ariz.; one grandson, Nathan May; her parents, Harvey
and Emma Lois Horsfall, of rural Carpenter; three brothers, Stanley Horsfall
of Mason City, Frank Horsfall of Carpenter and Harvey E. Horsfall of Mason
City; one sister, Linda Kruse of Meyer, Iowa; and a special good friend,
Jim Horgen, of St. Ansgar. 

Mary was preceded in death by her grandparents and one brother, Edward.
