  loved to laugh, pull jokes on people, and tell stories. Mary enjoyed playing 
  bingo, working in her flower garden, and collecting butterflies. She enjoyed 
  nature and quiet evenings outside listening to night sounds. She adored her two 
  dogs, Teddy and T.T., who remained by her side. Throughout her latter years, 
  though filled with the loss of many loved ones, and the trials of living with 
  cancer, Mary remained cheerful, inspiring many others along the way to hold 
  tight to their faith in our living God, knowing He has a plan for each of us 
  and each will be fulfilled. Friends and relatives are invited to the viewing
