I loved her. Her sweet smile and how her eyes twinkled and how ornery she was .she always made me laugh ❤️
Mary Kay and i were backyard neighbors for at least 20 years. Our kids grew up together! Jimma and Michelle were best friends. She was a lovely person-i can still hear her laugh! I loved her so much!
I have a lot of wonderful childhood memories. She always took a nap after school, she made hot chocolate mix and always told us to stay out of it, we loved to carve big pumpkins, she would be a little grouchy when we went in and out of the house so much going from house to house. Love her so much. 😘
Mary Kay was a very special neighbor and friend. We lived across the street from the Winburn family for 22 years. Mary Kay was a good friend to our family through the years. We enjoyed a lot of get-togethers- she was one great person- she will be missed.
Mary Kay was always so wonderful to me! She and I worked together with HSH. We laughed, cried, and created havoc. Her smile was so genuine and I will miss it! I am thankful that she is now back to enjoying life on a different level. Rest well, my friend. See you eventually. ❤️
Kevin, so sorry to hear about your mom. You and your family are in my prayers
