Mary was preceded in death by her father, Francis Boyd; sister Jeannie Boyd; sister Sally Linn; nephew Stephan Boyd; dear friend Vicki Birdsall; daughter Erica Anderson; and loyal companions Diamond and Rudy.
Surviving family includes her mother, Helen (Wenger) Boyd; daughter Stacy (John) Boler of Niles; daughter Angela (Tawni) Euans-Davis of Pensacola, Florida; life-long best friend Richard Opperman; brother Timothy (Karen) Boyd; sister Joanne (Boyd) Hawley; sister Nancy (John) Bell; brother-in-law Wayne Linn; grandsons Richard Krassow III, Eric Boler and Alec Boler; granddaughter Elizabeth (Aaron) Whitfield; great-grandsons William Whitfield and baby boy Whitfield due in May; nieces and nephews Michelle, Melissa, Michael, Raymond, Victoria, William, Kelly, Robin, Spencer and Wade; and great-nieces Karli, Rozalyn, Sydney, Millicent and Alina.
Mary had a love for music (Oak Ridge Boys), Notre Dame football, cooking for an army (her chicken noodles were famous), shopping and making memories by traveling with her family.
Mary lived her life giving everything she had to help others. From family and friends to acquaintances, strangers and the homeless. She touched every life she came in contact with. Her contagious laugh and loving, giving heart will forever be missed and will live on through her daughters, best friend and grandchildren, who were the light and love of her life.
Rest in peace in the loving and merciful hands of Jesus.
