Several of Mary’s friends gathered together yesterday to celebrate Mary. A brief service led by Ginny Anderson was conducted, toasts and memories were offered and a lunch followed. Mary was loved by all her friends and we knew how much she would have appreciated the celebration.

I only knew Mary for a short period of time while working with her in our law firm. A group of us retired at about the same time, and Mary always managed to get us together "for memories." So glad that her friends will be gathering to share a few of those memories and laughter at her "Remembrance Service". Ginny

No words can express my heavy heart that I feel today in learning of the passing of my sweet friend Mary. I was just going to call her this morning when I realized I had not from her since the end of June when she called me to wish me a happy anniversary! I know she was not doing well the last time I talked to her and felt so bad that I lived so far from her, I live in Texas! Unfortunately I found her death notice on line this morning.
I worked with Mary in Flemington and lived in Flemington where I felt like she was my second mother to me! We move to Texas and still remained a second mother to me.
Mary, you were such a good friend to many, always taking the time to stay in touch and talk…you were loved by all your friends so much and you were an incredible friend!
I know you are with our Lord and Savior and heaven has gained another angel! I will miss you Mary till we meet again! ❤️

I worked with Mary for many years; we were members of a lunch group that met daily in the cafeteria and chatted about anything and everything. But it was the endearment rising from those lunches that has held us together even now, 12 years after my retirement. We will miss Mary.
Peace of mind is a call away. We’re here when you need us most.

My condolences to Mary's family! I worked with Mary at both Schaff, Motiuk et al and also Shanley & Fisher, PC. Many happy memories of Mary and especially her coffee crumb cake. She would bake this for the office occasionally and it was awesome. Rest in the sweetest peace Mary Koteles! Diane

Mary has shared my life since we met as sophomores in high school 68 years ago. She was always fun, caring and loyal. I will miss her , our weekly phone conversations and get-togethers. She was a wonderful friend and I'm grateful that we had all those years together. My condolences to her family. Your Mom was a special lady!
