So sad to hear!!  She was one of my favorite weekly hair clients for so many years... she had so many stories to tell, and she had such a big heart!  Love you Mary 💔💔

Brenda stringham - 10/15/2024

I am sorry for loss of your mother Kelly and Chuck. She was a long time neighbor and a great friend to my mother Donna Hunter and fellow employee at the Riverton Smith's. If she saw you in the neighborhood she would be the one to say hello or good morning. The same was at Smith's. She didn't need the AP system because you hear when you entered the store. She was a lovely person inside and out. I am sadden that I will not be to make it her funeral. I hope you can know that my family loved Mary very much. Take care, Nick Hunter 

Nick Hunter - 10/15/2024

Mary,


It has been a long time since I seen you last and now you are gone with the Lord.  I will always remember you back in the 60's.  Take Care, and enjoy your everlasting life in Eternity.  Maybe, someday in another time and place we will meet up and talk about those days of long ago.

So sorry to hear of Mary's passing. She lived a good long life, may she rest in peace now. I first met her when my brother-in-law would go to the Satellite, and then always at Smith. She was such a blessing to us all. Who knows, maybe she will be the door greeter at Gods heavenly gate.😇  Bob, Wendy and family

Mary was a legend in Riverton. Smith's was never the same after she retired. She was truly kind and will be sadly missed. Prayers to her family. 

Angie Henry - 10/16/2024

So glad I got the privledge to meet and care for Mary over the years. I loved the Sweetwater stories and her kerosene washing machine. The story of the donuts and coffee for the Riverton garbage men everyday and how some of the families still sent her Christmas cards after all these years.


Also all the stories of her support of the Riverton Fire Dept. She was so proud of her honorary fire helmet that hung in her entry way.


But most of all the stories of her children, grandkids etc. She was so proud of you all and the love in her voice when talking about you all was palpable. She loved you all so much.


She was a legend at Smiths Grocery Store and I still miss her when I walk in there.


In ending, Mary will be missed by many. I am so happy she was my friend and know this world won't be as bright without her in it.            Rest in peace Mary

Mary Ellen Christensen - 10/16/2024

We are sorry to hear of Mary's passing. Her cheerful "hello, hello" greeted everyone when she worked at Smith's and is part of her legacy. Now she will be greeting everyone who walks through the "pearly gates" with her cheerful "hello, hello". Rest in peace, Mary. You made a lot of people smile.

Pat & Bob LeMasters - 10/17/2024

Mary was such a great friend. Scott hired her at Smith's. She worked there many years. She was sure a friendly kind person. She did so much for the community.  She will be missed by the whole city.

Jeri & Scott walton - 10/17/2024

We send our sincerest condolences to the family of Mary. She made me believe in the good of all people. 


When I was younger, we struggled to keep our heads afloat. Mary helped me shop on the meager few dollars I had to put food on the table. Her kindness helped me pay it forward. May her family and friends be comforted in their memories and love for this incredible human being. Mary, you will be missed immensely. 

The Hill Family - 10/17/2024

Paula Brownfield Shankle - 10/17/2024

Have missed Mary at Smith's, she was a staple with her hellos, how are you!! I respected her much.

Beckie Bishop - 10/17/2024

Mary, you were the brightest person I have ever met. There was not a day i entered Smiths that your warm welcome didn't greet me at the door or tell me thank you for doing business there. You were a true gem. You always have been , even when you owned your bar you helped many unfortunate people in many ways. You will be sadly missed and thought of fondly. Prayers to her remaining family. God bless 


 

Cindy Halverson - 10/17/2024

What a beautiful obituary and wonderful life she had. 


She didn't just say hello when you came into Smith's it was more like "HELLOOOO"


She will be missed. ❤️

Donna Akins Appel - 10/17/2024

We are saddened to hear of Mary's passing.  She was one in a million for certain. She always had a cheery attitude and positive things to talk about. No matter where I might meet her, she always hollered and waved "Helloooo!  Hellooo!"  The community has definitely lost a treasure. Rest in peace Mary.

Leane & John Linnell - 10/17/2024

Mary, no mater what, your smile allways brightened the day.

Randee & Kip Krone - 10/17/2024

I always loved going into Smiths and hearing her greetings and seeing her smiling face. She was a wonderful woman and will be missed. Prayers for her entire family🙏🙏

Sue Mittlesdorf - 10/17/2024

I've known Mary for many years and always loved to hear her Hello ring through the air!  I remember when I got married 50 years ago, I got tossed in a wheel barrow and pushed around the block from Trinity Luther church, right up the drive-in to Satellite.  Lots of other memories of her in my heart.  I've always said that when I finally grow up, I want to be just like Mary.  So, Hellooooo and farewell til we meet again!!

LuAnn Plumb - 10/17/2024

Mary was one of the most inspirational people I have ever had the pleasure of knowing! I will miss the fun conversations we had, the laughter, and most importantly her infectious smile.  Her hollering across Smith's a friendly hello, to her telling stories of my Grandpa at the bar while she bagged the groceries.  She always knew everyone and asked how their family was. I truly believe she never met a person that she would consider a stranger.  May we all strive to be a little more like her! 

Danielle Sauer - 10/17/2024

Mary was awesome. Her hellos always made my day when I would go to Smiths. 


Journey well 🕊️❤️

C. Trippo - 10/17/2024

My prayers are with Kelly and your families and friends.

Vicky Williams - 10/18/2024

What an angel! I am so happy my family was able to be on the receiving end of her smiles and her goodness when we lived in Riverton. She will always be remembered!!❤️

Cindy Breedlove - 10/18/2024

You will always be remembered by everyone that had the pleasure to call you there friend. 

Scott & Debra Osborn - 10/18/2024

Those of us who were fortunate enough to meet and know Mary were truly blessed. Whenever you walked into the Satellite or Smith's the entire establishment was aware of your arrival as she welcomed you by name. I fondly remember walking into Smith's after being gone for some 20 years and her calling out my wife's and my name as if I had never been gone. My children fondly remember sitting at the bar looking out of the drive-up window at the Satellite on a saturday morning eating a donut and drinking their juice. They too say they were blessed to have met Mary.


We mourn your loss and send our love and prayers your way. Mary will forever live on in our hearts. 


God Bless


Sam, Robin, James, Brandy, Jason and Julia.

Jesse "Sam" Bradsby - 10/18/2024

Rest in peace Mary, you are fondly remembered and will be sorely missed

Marshall Blankenship - 10/18/2024

Everyone knew this beautiful woman, with a welcoming smile and a warm hello to all. She will always be remembered in Riverton for being the friendliest best know lady in town, who also seemed to know everyone's name. She will.be missed.


 


Condolences to her family, our prayers are with you. May you be comforted now and as time passes.

Karin Keller & family - 10/18/2024

So sad you always made me happy when I came into Smiths, you would say hello & give a hug if needed.  You are in heaven Mary, you are the greeter @ the Pearly gate. RIP

LORETTA HECK - 10/18/2024

I remember getting called to the Smith's parking lot as a Riverton Police Officer to a report of a fender bender. When I arrived, a young woman told me her car came out of gear and rolled back striking the parked car. The parked car, was a brown, older model Chevy Impala with the distinctive "MARY" personal license plate. I went inside the store and told Mary what had happened. As I escorted her to the parking lot, the young woman was in tears, telling Mary how sorry she was that she had damaged her car. Without hesitation, Mary threw her arms around the crying young woman and gave her a big hug, telling her not to cry over that old car. Only Mary would respond that way!! A remarkable woman!! My sincere Condolences.

Milan Vinich - 10/18/2024

We lived in WY for almost 10 years and I shopped frequently at Smith's in Riverton. I cannot recall one time, barely making it through the door, that I didn't hear Mary's unmistakably welcoming voice, "Hello, how are you?!" She was such a breath of fresh air and encouragement to many, I'm sure. In the years since leaving WY my husband and I reminisce now and then about people we met there who made an impact on our lives. Mary was one of those. If it wasn't for following County 10 on Facebook I wouldn't have known about her passing. God Bless her, she was a gem. I can just see her greeting folks in Heaven!

Shirley Tetreault - 10/18/2024

Sorry loss you were the most Loveable Lady we miss your beautiful Hello everyday you be our angel in Heaven.
