Sympathy to each of Mary's family. Mary painted some ceramics for me and had a ready hug. I'm sad at her passing.
My memories of Mary are vast. There were times we were exceedingly close and times we drifted apart. I always knew a simple call would reconnect us. We were not born sisters but I felt she was a sister.
Mary will be missed by all who were blessed to have worked with her on the various charity projects in Sew'N'Sews. to her family we want you to know that the world is a better place for Mary having been here.!
Thoughts and prayers are with the family. I worked with Larry and Mary for many years. We shared some good times outside of work as well! She was loved by many who knew her. RIP my friend.
I’m so sorry for your loss. Larry, I know how hard the fight can be and how difficult this has been for you. My thoughts and prayers are with you and your family.
Mary was one of the first people I met when coming to Del Webb. Always friendly, always helpful and always there with a smile. I will miss her.

My sincere condolences to Larry & Leah and to Mary's entire family. I've known Mary for only a short 2 years through our Sew N Sew charter club but once introduced to her friendliness and smile you feel like you have somehow known her your entire life. She was genuine, always ready for a chat or helping hand. Our club will not be the same without Mary Henderson. A short but well lived life! You will be missed.....
