Help Us Honor Mary With the Peaceful Farewell She Deserves

Our family is going through one of the hardest moments of our lives. Our beloved mother, Mary, is currently in hospice care, and we are preparing to say goodbye to someone who has given so much love and compassion to others throughout her life.

Mary spent many years serving others as a nurse and CNA, dedicating her life to caring for people when they needed it most. Her kindness didn’t stop at work. She opened her home to friends and family who needed a place to stay, a warm meal, or simply someone who cared. She was incredibly hospitable and giving, even during times when it may not have made sense. That was just who she was — a true servant-hearted woman and a blessing to everyone who knew her.

Now our family is facing something very difficult. Mary does not have life insurance, and unfortunately my dad does not have the financial means to cover the costs of her cremation and memorial service.

Mary’s wish is to be cremated, and we want to honor that while also giving her the beautiful service she deserves — a chance for family and friends to come together, celebrate her life, and say goodbye with love.

We are humbly asking for help from friends, family, and anyone who feels moved to support us during this time. Any donation, no matter how small, will go directly toward:

Cremation expenses

A memorial service to celebrate Mary’s life

Final arrangements and related costs

If you’re not able to donate, sharing this page and keeping our family in your prayers means the world to us.

Mary spent her life helping others without ever expecting anything in return. Now we’re asking for help to honor her life with the dignity and love she showed to so many people.

Thank you for your kindness, prayers, and support during this incredibly difficult time.

With gratitude,

Mary's family, Don and Donelle
