To Robbie, and Jerry Madden, and Blake Madden please accept our condolences for Ms.Mary's passing and our pleasure that we were introduced personally. Kuniko and I think Ms. Mary did a fine task in her job.
Although I had never met Mary, I always enjoyed the flowers and displays on Grand. We miss them and I'm sure she was a lovely lady.
You made the world more beautiful, grandma. I love you and will miss you always.
Thinking of my forever friend Sherry and the loss of her mother. I was blessed on numerous occasions to see Mary's "yard art" while visiting family in Ames. I can only imagine what she's decorating in Heaven!
You touched my life in a very special way, Grandma Mary. You will be missed -but always be in my thoughts and in my heart. I love you.
Love you Mary you will be missed!
Lon & Judy, Ben & Jessica Our entire family's hearts go out to you in this sad time for your family. We were so sorry to hear the sad news. We will keep you in our hearts and prayers.
We will miss her! Mary was a client at Professional Cosmetology Institute for many years. She brought us smiles! She brought us many blessings! Students and staff recall she even brought them treats. Her yard displays were legend and very much enjoyed. She will be missed. Thanks for allowing us to share our memories of her at this site. You have our deepest sympathy at your loss.
I have fond memories of Mary from my younger years in the Lincoln School neighborhood. I knew her from my friendship with her son Charles(Lonnie)Young. He and I went to kindergarten together and I shared many times with him at his home in the 500 block of Lincoln Way (across the street from what is now Granden's Center). We played very rough tackle football and other things there. I always admired Lon's mother for being such a gracious mother and a very kind person in her home or at Rushing's. I have not seen Lon since 1961 but I always knew he would be very sucessfull from the way he had been raised.
My deepest sympathies Lon and all of the family.
