My mother and I were privileged to know Mary as our Bock travel agent in Omaha beginning in 1982 when she introduced us to traveling with Maupintour out of Lawrence, Kansas. After our 17-day trip to Egypt, we were hooked, both on Mary and on Maupintour. We continued our affiliation with Mary from trip to trip: Greece in 1984, Ireland in 1985, Hawaii in 1986, capitals of Eastern Europe in 1987, Scotland in 1989, and New England and Canada in 1991.
Mary was a ray of sunshine in a sometimes dark and dreary world. She would laugh and tell stories and plink on her computer terminal, always conscientious about customer service. She would research, advise, and consult with us, ever mindful of our wishes and needs. We recommended her to friends because her service was always so outstanding. We were sad to see her leave
Omaha to begin a new life in Yankton, but we knew she was following her heart, and her life story included with her obituary shows us she ultimately made the right decision.
I am so sorry for your loss. Mary was one of a kind and will be sorely missed by all who knew her.

So very sorry for your loss. I went to grade school and high school with Mary. I remember her as a fun, caring person with a zest for life. Even back then she loved to travel and I wasn't surprised when she had made that her career. I do remember being surprised when I heard she was living in South Dakota. I had always imagined she would live somewhere exotic. But then, I shouldn't have been, because that was Mary - down to earth and making sure that the people around her were cared for.

Healy family, You have been in my thoughts and prayers since I learned of Mary's passing. She was initially our travel agent but quickly became a friend. Not only did she plan numerous wonderful trips for us, but she also shared her stories with me. We spent countless hours on the phone discussing everything from favorite foods and drinks to shopping bargains and manicures. Mary was always only a text message away whenever I had a problem or a question. We rehashed many strengths and weaknesses of resorts we had both visited. She was the first person I would check in with upon returning from a trip. I loved her sense of humor and honesty. My heart is heavy at the loss of this special lady. She shared so much about you all!!!! May you help each other through these difficult days ahead, knowing Mary is painfree. She touched so many lives, making a huge impact on mine. I will never forget my very special travel agent. My deepest sympathies.

I will miss this beautiful, funny, crazy friend. She loved her family, kids and friends like no other. Even when she was ill she focused on you and your life and made you feel special. I have so many great memories of going to high school events with her watching Kyle and Chris. She was the best bargain shopper I knew! She will be missed. Chris, Johnny and Emily, thinking of you, but know your mom taught you to be tough, kind and cherish each other.

I am so sorry for the loss of Mary. She was the first friend I made here back in 2008. She was working at Curves and invited me to lunch for my birthday and brought me a birthday cake. I will never forget that and I will never forget her. She lived life to the fullest. I would often tell her to slow down and to think of retiring because of her condition, but NO, she kept on going on trip after trip and work. We would talk often and she always seemed more interested in my well being than hers. I would ask questions about her health and she didn't say much. She was very sweet and caring. I am so sad my friend is gone. She raised 3 beautiful children and I remember Emily being the best daughter and thinking how lucky Mary was to have her and Jonnie is awesome, very caring and fun to be around. Hope they keep in touch with me. I would love to see Chris again. May God bless and keep your family at this difficult time. Cynthia

My heart goes out to her family as they move through the grieving process. I will always remember her for her thoughtfulness, always asking
about family and if everybody was fine. I will miss her, Rest peacefully Mary

I was so sorry to hear that Mary passed. Mary gave me my first job in travel back in 1986, and she was an awesome mentor, she loved everything travel and passed that passion on! I will never forget the first FAM I took with the company I was so nervous to fly, and Mary was shocked "you mean you have never flown before, why did you never tell me that?" To which I replied, "I don't think you would have hired me if I had told you"!! Even after we no longer worked together, Mary always kept in touch, and we managed to get together every few years. She fought her battle with cancer with everything she had, she so wanted more time with her kids! I am going to miss her!
