In agreement with her wishes, cremation rites have been accorded and her ashes will be laid to rest with her parents and two sisters in Drexel, MO, where the family was from. There will be no visitation or services held. A private family service is being planned in late June.

Mary was born in Drexel on October 25th, 1936, to Harley and Thelma Westhoff. Known for her happy disposition & frequent giggling, she loved shopping, ice cream & tacos!

Mary was the perfect mother for her surviving daughter Angela “Angi”. She is also survived by one sister, Donna, two nephews and one niece.

Anyone wishing to pay their respects might consider enjoying something from Tasty Tacos while thinking of her. She would love that!
