My cousin Mary Alice was one of the sweetest women I have ever known. She drove 5 hours to my mom, Auntie Dolly's, t funeral and then drove 5 hours back because she worked the next day. I will miss her wonderful smile. May Mary Alice Rest in Peace with Mike. Blessings and comfort to Rob and all her family. Chrissy Schantzen
I met Mary several years ago cause I’m the FedEx courier and we would talk when I saw her. I’m so sad to hear of her passing cause I’ve been looking for her lately. I would always beep at her and she always had a big smile and a wave for me daily. Bless her family cause she will be missed.
Mary used to deliver my mail. What a dear sweet lady she was. May she rest in peace.

I’m so sorry to learn of Mary’s passing. She was my dad’s mail carrier for several years. She was always so kind to him and always had a treat for his dog, Muggs. While I didn’t know her, I hope she knew how much
My family appreciated her kindness toward my dad and those on her mail route. Peace.
I've known Mary ever since she arrived in Antigo. She was energetic, loving, and brightened everyone and everything around her. To make things beautiful around her was boundless. For me, her memories will live on forever. I pray for her and her family.
What a wonderful woman. I will miss her. She was always so nice to my father and his dig. Always had a treat for her. Rest in peace Mary.
