From a young age she loved her animals, having many pets throughout the years. Some of those pets included a deer she rescued, a pair of wiley ferrets, a parrot and cockatiels.
Mary was a helpful person, but she also had a sense of humor to boot....there was a slack chained slingshot of a stuck truck out of the ditch, and a fun bet she won resulting in a long-legged teenage boy having to wear a mini skirt cause he lost. She was good at the fun bets and had a knack for card games.
Mary is survived by her husband Howard, three sons, James and his wife Silli, John, and Geno and his wife Stacy. 9 grandkids, Robert, Meghan, Nadine, Brandon, Allen, Jacquelynn, Raymond, Clarence, and Wyatt. 2 brothers, Ed Insell and John Eckert.
