She married to her sweetheart, Louis F. Hamacher, February 18, 1942. The couple made their home on the hill East of Matheson. To this loving and giving union four children were born; Janet, Bob, Rich, and Rod. Mom was a strong, sacrificing and hardworking lady. With her husband Louis she wanted nothing for herself; rather she dedicated herself to her husband of 63 years and their four children.

Surviving Mary, are her children, Rod and wife Jannette of Limon, Rich and wife Rose of Louisiana, Bob and wife Caroline of Oregon, Janet and husband Cloyce Henderson of Colorado Springs, ten grand-children, and seventeen great-grandchildren will cherish her memory and will always know where their foundation of honesty, work ethics, integrity, love, and strong faith in God came from. She was preceded in death by her husband Louis in 2005, her parents, twin brothers Elmer and Eldon, sisters Roberta Edwards and Ellen Ladd. She leaves her brother Sid and wife Phyllis Housh, special cousins, nephews, nieces and friends to celebrate her life. Mom reveled in her family’s activities and expressed her pride in all of their accomplishments. She tended the physical and emotional needs of those she loved and leaves a wonderful legacy of memories that will only grow brighter with the passing of time.
