Mary Lea...Mrs. Lea...How greatly everyone will miss this great gal. I never even knew she was 90 until her 90th birthday. She was beautiful and caring and kind. Often we met in the Jewel and solved the problems of the world while blocking the aisles. And then too when I attended 8:30 a.m.Mass at St.Gregory's at the handshake of peace, I could look over to the next aisle and there she would wave hello. Mary was so proud of her family. The angels surely have lifted Mary into Paradise. Blessings to you all.

I was so sad to hear of Mrs. Lea's passing. Her energy and vibrant personality will be sorely missed. She was a buddy of my dear Gram in the Friendship Club for many years, and always had a kind word and a smile for those she met. Know that my thoughts and prayers are with you.

Larry and family; I remember when Mary and I both worked at Rauland corp back in the 60's. I would drive her to work and she was such a friendly person who left me so many wonderful memories. Many times thru the years I've thought of her. May God bless her. I thought of her as a very special person who I am so grateful to have known.
