Mary was a proud graduate of Baldwin High School.

A devoted fan of the Kansas City Chiefs, she also took great joy in growing roses and gardening alongside her family, often sharing the fruits of her labor with loved ones. Mary had a special affection for her pet dogs and cherished the companionship they provided.

She spent many years as a devoted member of the Worden Methodist Church, contributing to her community and finding joy in fellowship with others.

She is survived by two sons, Tracy Pettibon (Glenda) and Tony Pettibon (Amy); sister Edith Sumner; six grandchildren; and many great-grandchildren who will continue to carry her legacy forward.

Mary's warmth, kindness, and unyielding spirit will be remembered by all whose lives she touched. Her family and friends will hold her memory dearly in their hearts as they reflect on the love and joy she shared throughout her life.
