Mary was a member of the St Clements Catholic Church for 60 years. She enjoyed her prayer groups, as well as travelling and being outdoors. Above all, Mary loved to spend time with her family. She was a spiritual, generous, and nurturing person, and she will be deeply missed. Left to mourn are her daughters Roni, Cathy (Brian), Connie, Debbie (Mike), and Sherry, sons John (Cheryl), Edward (Bonnie), Jim, Larry (Malinda), Doug, and Don (Alyson), 17 grandchildren, 11 great-grandchildren, and many more extended family members and friends. Mary was predeceased by her loving husband Edward Joseph Hammer and her grandson Gary Murphy. A Visitation will be held at Barthel Funeral Home on Friday, January 28th from 7:00 pm – 9:00 pm.
