As my older brother Glen Peterson said, Mary was also my favorite aunt. Glen Peterson and myself Donald Peterson are the sons of Betty whom was Mary's only sister. For some reason was not mentioned in the obit. Mary was proceeded in death by her sister Betty, brothers; Colonell, Russel and Dick (Woody). Mary's father Alfred, and mother Ruby, also passed away several years ago.
Mary's personality was so special. Always a great big smile and a laugh that I will never forget! Another special person in her life was her first husband Stanley Wimmer, whom she shared many happy years raising their children together. He was also a wonderful uncle and a very special person. At this time I would like to thank my cousin Mark , his wife Ruth and my other cousin David for taking such good care and making sure Aunt Mary had the best care possible and always making sure that she was comfortable and also keeping us informed as to Marys condition etc..
I am sad to say that Lisa and I are unable to travel at this time due to a recent kidney removal Surgery I had. We will be there in spirit of course and Mary will always be there in our hearts.
With deepest sympathy ,
Don and Lisa Peterson

To my mother,
How I miss your smiling face, your voice that never seemed to tell your age, and your hilarious comments at the most unexpected moments.
