Aunt Mary was my Godmother.  She used to say to me that she wasn't a very good one, and I could have done better.  Then she would laugh her great Aunt Mary laugh.  It was a conversation we had whenever we saw each other, and I would always tell her otherwise, but she would hear nothing of it.

She didn't think she was anything special.  But she was, and we all knew it.  Everyone adored Aunt Mary.  My dad, Clyde, couldn't do enough for her.  And my mom . . . well, Bobbe and Mary weren't just sisters; they were very good friends.  I can see them now, sitting on the couch at some family get-together, heads tilted toward each other, ice tinkling in their glasses while they shared some private story or joke.  They raised their kids together, and when those kids were done being raised, they took on the world, heading to movies, plays, musicals . . . indulging themselves in any artistic or theatrical activity that they could find. They traveled to many places near and far, sharing life's adventures as they grew old together.  They really had a special friendship, my mom and Aunt Mary, and it played a large part in my own life growing up.

We will all miss you, Aunt Mary, and, for the record, you were an awesome Godmother.

Mary was a charter member of the Greater St. Louis Home Economists in Home and Community, which began in 1947.  She never considered herself as a "Charter" member, because she joined a month after the 7 original members decided to organize the group.  Our members recognized her as a charter member, though.  Her picture shown in the obituary notice is how we remember Mary, always smiling.   We will miss her.
