Nancy,
You, Mary & Ed are a great part of my childhood family memories.
Mary was an incredible ball of fun, chocolate cakes, home made dresses, poker games, sloppy joe sammies, laughter and love.
I’ll never forget her infectious smile and her jokes! She was a true original!
I know she’ll be surrounding you with her love and protection.
Thinking of you!
Love,
Elaine

Just a few short years ago my brother, Richard Deer and my sister Susan Deer Hall and myself had a chance to meet Mary Deer in her home in Rising Sun Ohio. Mary was the oldest living relative we had when we came to see her a few years ago. Our entire Michigan families share in your loss of this very special lady. Our thoughts are with your entire family.
