Not to forget "the cousins" as she lovingly called them. Mary graduated from St. Anthony of Padua girls Catholic High School class of 1955. She married Bruce Akron whom she later divorced. Raised her 4 children as a single parent while working full time as an accountant, advertising manager and credit manager. She retired from The Toro Company at the age of 62. She was a remarkable woman, strong and yet sensitive and loving. Family was very important to her as witnessed by the many gatherings she hosted and attended. She was also a huge Minnesota Vikings and Minnesota Twins fan. One of her proudest moments was when she purchased her home. It was a great accomplishment for a single woman in the early '70s. Mary will be greatly missed! Until we meet again In Heaven we love you! In light of concern regarding the community spread of Covid-19 the family has decided to have a private Mass at St. Boniface Catholic Church and burial at Gethsemane Catholic Cemetery. A memorial/ Celebration of life will be held at a later date. Memorials preferred to an organization of your choosing. God bless everyone during these difficult times!
