Mary is survived by her daughters Lupe Haswood (Lee) and Peggy Avery, 9 grandchildren, and many great grandchildren.

She is preceded in death by her children Tracy Avery and Tony Avery.

Grandma loved to travel and did so on her own. Some of her favorite travels were to Wendover and state fairs around the west. Grandma made many friends on her 99-year journey (too many to name).

We love her and she will be dearly missed!
