Mary was a fiercely independent and caring woman who always put her faith in the Lord and family first. She worked at Gatke Corp in Warsaw for several years in the customer service department and was a devout member of the Lutheran Church. Mary lived on Hoffman Lake in Warsaw for several years where she enjoyed living near the water. In her spare time, she loved to tend to her garden and enjoyed baking pies for her family. Mary showed her love through baking and creating immaculate holiday dinners for her loving family. Her specialty was making every holiday and birthday spectacular and memorable. Family meant the world to Mary, and she will be greatly missed by them all.
