Mary’s adventuresome and independent path took her to Europe, Canada, New York, Illinois and back to Michigan, settling in Menominee, her happy place, for more than half her life. Mary loved the Upper Peninsula and the friends she made.

Especially in her final years, she was wrapped in amazing care and support, enabling her to continue to live in her own home.

Besides his parents, Donny was preceded in death by two sisters, Diane (Mitzi) Kotecki, and Judie Huebner and her husband Gene (Marv) Huebner.
