Mary was born July 8, 1927 in Elkhart, IN to John & Elizabeth (Lyons) Hurley. She graduated from Bronson High School, where she had proudly served as the Band Majorette. Mary married Scott R. Cary on January 19, 1946 in Bronson. He preceded her in death on February 28, 2011.
Mrs. Cary was a dedicated wife, mother and homemaker and spent many years working alongside her husband on the family farm. She was a member of St. Mary’s Church, the Bronson Women’s Bowling Association, Bronson Golf League and Bella Vista Golf League. She was an excellent golfer, making a hole in one at the age of 80.
Mary was witty with a unique sense of humor. She enjoyed shopping and spending time with her family; but what she particularly loved most was watching her kids, grandkids, and great grand kids play sports.
Mary is survived by her children Russell (Pat McClish) Cary of Bronson, Connie Carper of Sturgis, Dick (Christine) Cary of Bronson, Cindy (Bill) MacDaniels of Bronson, Debra (Carl) Rifenburgh of Bronson, Bill (Rhonda) Cary of Bronson; her grandchildren Ron Cary, Bret Cary, Theresa Reed, Tim Carper, Jennifer Zepke, Elizabeth Feinberg, Lori Tabor, Billy (MaryJo) MacDaniels, Corey Rifenburgh, Jamie Ringer, Scott Cary, Emileah Cary, Meghan Cary, Lauren Cary; 28 great grandchildren; 9 great-great grandchildren and many loving nieces and nephews.
In addition to her husband, she was also preceded in death by her brothers Jack and Larry Hurley and son-in-law Roger Carper.
Memorials may be directed to the Bronson Food Pantry or the Bronson Battle Creek Cancer Center.
She will be missed at golf league this summer. She was fun to play against. So sorry for the families loss
