There is a group of us who attend daily Mass. My husband affectionately calls us the church ladies. Mary Kay was in our group. We checked in people during COVID. We sanitized the pews. Lately, we have returned to our previous routine of standing outside of church and visiting after Mass. We have shared family, and discussed everything from politics to gardening. Many days Mary Kay would walk to Mass, and accept an offered ride home. We would continue our talks parked in front of her house. I will miss this.
She gave so much time to our school and our parish. She has reshelved more library books and pulled more weeds than can be counted. She was very proud of the flowers that this year are planted between the school and church.
We have lost a very special church lady.
May the angels lead you into Paradise, dear friend.
