April 29, 1923 — July 9, 2019

Mary was born April 29, 1923, in Conception Junction, Missouri. She died July 9, 2019.

Upon completing a Bachelor's degree in nursing from St. Mary's in Kansas City, Missouri, she served in the U.S. Army Nurse Corps during World War II, and was stationed in Guam, the Philippines, and Okinawa. Upon returning to Kansas City after the war, she worked as a registered nurse.

She is survived by remaining siblings, Monica Nelson, Dee Elkins and Terrence Merrigan; children, Elizabeth Bartolino, Lisa Daldrup, Michelle Spaw, Paula Mahoney; grandchildren Sarah Daldrup and Sean Daldrup; and many nieces and nephews.

Special thanks to Fr. Mike Roach, Fr. Tim Armbruster, the communion ministers of St. James Church and the staffs at Norterre and North Kansas City Hospital. Mary also wanted to thank all of those who shared their friendship over the years, most especially her church and shopping buddies. As requested, her favorite pastime of shopping will be memorialized on her grave marker with the inscription, "I'd rather be shopping."
