I will always love and miss Mars! The world is just never gonna be the same without her wonderful words of wisdom and great board game player. I will so miss you and all the fun and light you brought to my world. I love you so much. You will have to see me again when I join you. Look for me.
Mars was a dear friend, a mentor, a confidante. I will miss her until I join her.
I was a nurse who worked with Mars. She was an excellent teacher. She had a gift for explaining complicated material and making it easy to understand. She was my mentor.
My deepest sympathy to the Chrudimsky families. Thoughts & prayers being sent to all.
🙏🙏
Mars was a wonderful Aunt to her many nieces and nephews and great nieces and nephews. Always knitting a blanket for a new baby, which the kids always cherished. Such a smart and caring woman, who we will miss tremendously. She took the kids on so many great adventures, camping, swimming and more. They all have such great memories of her and their time together. In visiting with her the last month, she brought up memories of my boys when they were younger which brought some laughs and smiles to both of us. We know she is in a better place, but can't express how much she will be missed here. Love you Mars!
I knew Mars in High School and got to know her in Eau Claire. She was a neat lady! She was smart, fun, compasionate- one of the good guys. I am sorry to hear of her passing.
Sorry to hear about the death of Mars. I met her while involved with Aspiris Hospital Auxiliary. She continued her passion with this hospital organization becoming a very involved member. The world needs more people like Mars. She with be missed by many! May her family and friends recall happy memories. May she rest in peace with our God. Jeanne Peters.
You have my deepest condolences for your loss of Mars. Death is truly an enemy of all of us. The Bible book of Revelation in chapter 21 verses 3 and 4 holds out the beautiful hope for our future in seeing our loved ones again.
