Niedermeier, Mary Louise

Throughout her life, Mary devoted herself to educating others, first as a French teacher, and later through volunteer work; she organized school science fairs, tutored for the Literacy Network and hosted and mentored foreign students from around the world. Most of all, she loved to bring family and friends together to share stories and amazing meals. We are heartbroken at her loss, but take comfort in the messages from those she touched, from Algeria and Bhutan to Namibia and Vietnam, who also feel as though they have lost their “mom.” Thank you, Mary, for a lifetime of giving, for warming cold hands, filling empty tummies and nurturing inquisitive minds. Thank you for a lifetime of companionship and shared adventures.
